Stupidity
over-flowing our nation, hate over race and
we’re all adjacent
Tension
anger, animosity, attitude built
kkk emerge, many killed
Ops
biggest mistake, hatred
fuel on fire, open death gates
Privation
filled many home, but money comes to the ground which
is home of poor and land of the rich
America, America
Home of the free, Land of the brave,
United, as, one, yet many slaves
Rage
labor in southern state, no pay
in the rivers, ancestors wade.
Misery
disparity, poverty soaks the land
children victimized, never given chance
Alteration
seeds planted, less cotton in the fields
more opportunities, MLK killed
Gullible
lied to, betrayed
back on the walls, no help, no faith
Earthquake
everyone rumbled, cries over looked
pause - civil movement fumble
Depression
bright light darkens, endless battle being fought
don’t give up, peace will be sought
Development
seeds grow, opinions change
plants recognized, change in the game
Oppression
no longer a factor,
but justice served, Thurgood Marshall heard
Novelty
one day shall come.
United, States, of America
UNITED-AS-ONE

I enjoyed this. Found the presentation quite hypnotic. As it seemed as an army soldiering on. Ty karen
