Zywa Bacon and beans

There's nothing to eat on the kitchen counter
of Charles Frank Watchman
born here in this town

and deceased last winter
We polish the cover
of his tomb in our kitchen

There is not a scratch on it
The coffin in which he lay
have we traded for

nothing, bacon and beans
Times are changing
but inequality is not

no matter how many marches
we walk to the Great Golden
White, Pink, or Blue House
