With much love to Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone...

I need some sugar
in my bowl (ain't foolin)
Gimme a little sugar
in my bowl--shake mama
to the other side


With no love to Anderson Cooper, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Tucker Carlson, Brian Williams, Wolf in tailored gray suits Blitzer, Ground Chuck Gibson, Katie Couric, Bill O'Reilly, Jon Stewart, and the rest of the flat-faced escape artists...

On the street
black and white
don't look at each other
At home Obama's on TV
and each see themselves
