“Processed

It's like I'm meat or wheat
Made into a burger or deli slices
Made into pasta or bread
Processed
Not the boy I was before the machine
Before the braking down and pulling apart
Before the adding and taking away

I was made for easy, fast consumption
Like food chains in the hood
Umi said don't go there
That you are what you eat

Those jails that system
has swallowed me whole”
