By Leroy F. Moore Jr.

Two generation doing the tango & voguing
Spirit of Cripple Clarence Lofton floats in the eyes
Of DJ Boogie Blind
Peg leg Howell pushing Paraplegic MC
To the Soul Train Awards
Like Moses & Aaron, it takes two

Opening up coffins of Black blind blues street musicians
Lemon Jefferson, Willie Mctell and Blind Boy Fuller
huddles around Russell Simmons & Berry Gordy
bringing them to June Jordan street
Where Brother Malcolm spit Black Panther Poetry
From his wheelchair
Tin cups full with sliver dollars
Street corners are the studios
Historical duets deaf and blind\feeling the beat
Sho Roc with L.Y.F.E. & Al Hibler with Kirk Roland
Pass the basket in the church of Reverend Gray Davis
Pastor S’wyne be-boxing with a tracheotomy tube
Choir of Bluesy gospel hip-hop
Political becomes personal
Sleepy John Estes had the City Hall Blues
Today Fezo da MadOne rhymes about Black Conservatives
Electric lady rolling to her date with Peg Leg Sam
Everything is connected
