1/20/2020 Poem by Butch Decatoria

1/20/2020
And I wonder if Dr. King would be proud of Jay-Z - in 2019 became the first African American billionaire? (Oprah not that far behind)while millions more in the populace still work for minimum wage, even white Americans. All ethnicities in our "melting pot" it seems.

What is witnessed on TV is all illusion, political propoganda of American wealth. We're kept in line with lies and promises by corrupt leaders, as the country and it's house on the Hill divides.
We watch them celebrate their picture-perfect lives, millionaires paid by our taxing, happier than we (the people)who fight their wars. Even afterward, the wars here against inequality.

None care to share the wealth, to better lives, not even our education; information's omissions, as the News talks down at us, redirecting our attention to sex changed Kardashians. And most who're stupid believe it, or could care less.

So what now? Who's left to save us, to make things right? When even the righteous churches choose their parties, their money's in no short supply. Profiting off of nature, fracking old fossils fueled by greed, getting richer (even now from legalization of our highs)as the planet dies.

It's MLK Day 1/20/2020, I'm asking why - aren't we free at last?
(And I'm not even black) .
