SAME OLD STUFF...DIFFERENT OUTHOUSE...

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 283

Come chided children, gather around:

Let us talk for a while;

know where you are and the state of your

being here in this house---

seemingly without a roof top to protect you

when it rains---and reins all around---

be still child.

 

You need to be taught how to cover yourself

with the blood that has been shed for you---

anybody can act like a bunch of damn fools;

that’s why they keep putting us in certain schools.

 

Trees are now protected and the noose retired;

stripes are out of fashion---orange is now the new pride.

 

Chain gangs are alive and well; free labor by the bands;

License plates are out sourced; prisons now boast:

“Made in America by ebony hued American hands.”
