America.
Founded through revolution.
“...one nation under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all...”
Which God?
A god of the white man?
A god for the white man?
A god by the white man?
The god of America.
Cry for America
Indivisible
Inseparable
One Nation
Founded on liberty and justice for all
Lily white
Lies founded in history
Excavated through time
Perpetuated by ‘educators’.
Blacks, graduated from chattel-hood
By laws that keep them enchained
Stagnating
Impatient to breathe.
Voices wail
Fires burn
Feet march
Standing still.
Cry for America
The revolution continues
Excluding
Dividing
Discriminating.
Imploding!
You are, America!
