A love song for Dick Gregory by Marvin X

He made us laugh
supreme joy of humanity laughter
release of pressure stress
laugh
and the world laughs with you
cry
cry alone
laugh dick made us all
court jester people's comic
laugh while razor cuts to heart with truth
laugh
dick made us when we wanted to cry crocodile tears
at the truth of his words
Kathleen Cleaver said only truth can be funny
Dick Gregory truth so funny
left dying
losing elections
left truth ain't funny
right wing white supremacist truth funny as hell
listen to right wing white supremacist truth
funny as a mother
rush michael savage alex jones funny with truth
ain't all lies
who got the whole truth and nothing but the truth
even dick didn't have the whole truth
sun ra didn't have the whole truth
but he had the low down dirty truth
told the white man you too evil for hell
even the devil don't want you, sunny said

trump most funny
tweetin twaatin pure stupid bullshit from top of head
no thought just tweet talk
he real funny
you take trump serious you fool
but dick my man dick funny
went deep in last days
conspiracy everywhere
conspiracy under yr toilet seat
can't go to sleep
dick went deep
knew too much for funny man
shit so deep you wonder was he da man
my man dick
told me at berkeley black rep
shut the fuck up
marvin x drunk on  henny at
the bar
dick in concert with paul mooney
paul told me shut the fuck up too
dick still my man
made pharaoh laugh
court jester
watch out dick
shot yr ass in watt's riot
don't stop revolution
no comic intermission
grass roots ain't laughing in revolution
no dick
you shut the fuck up now
let the revolution be
wanna be court jester
tell pharaoh let my people go
oh dick
thought you would go on forever
pulling off emperor's clothes
showing his naked ass
well time must pass
even on yo black ass dick
and mine too one day soon
no matter
this shit funny to me too
I laugh everyday
when the left learn to laugh
might win some elections
they shit stink too
ain't just the right wing
left wing shit stint too
just be true
dick gregory way
laugh left wing laugh
you too serious bout stupid shit
revolution is funny too
contradictions
assassinations
usurpations
revelations
occupations
laugh left laugh
like dick did
tell truth on left and right
will you hide truth
while you know
yes,
Qur'an say
will you hide truth
while you know
laugh on dick
laugh to the pearly gates
we see you there
makin God laugh at the wiles
of the devil!
