A-Merry-Can Recycling

CATEGORY

Views: 413

Iconoclastic, 

 retold  classics  

Peddled  as  rubble, 

Actually  Precious  mettle, 

Coveted  Hard  Stones,

Spirited  far  from  home….

 

Sifting  thru  

non-fictional,  captions,  

Of  How,  What,  Why-come?  

e  happens….

Stirring  Mysteries,

 In  this  land  for  free

Somebody  must  have  paid  a  fee,  

Evidently,  for  all  CAN  see, 

Societal  poverty,  numerous  atrocities

Discarded  can-do(s) following

Unfit  lines  of  authority,  2b  redeemed,

Covered  in  cream,  life  of  A-Merry-Can….

Fiendin’  and  protesting,  for  an  opening,

Clutching onto  reservations  for  nations  within  nations

 

Casinos  are  the  polls,  gambling  to  influence

Media  is  free  and  extorted  to  hone  delivery

Wait  in  line  for  equal  rights, in  this  merry-can-go-round

 

Colonial  capitalists,  eating  off us,   A-Free-Can,   as  food,  drives

So  I  run  away,  to  back  in  day,  Motherland  crime  scenes

Hoping  to  dig  up  my  A-Free-Can  roots,  sadly  I  find...

Missionary  versions’  of   chopped  down  family  trees

Resources  of  truth  are  strip-mined  in the  minds’  of  youth

 

All  I  see  is  Despots  ruling  or  standing  in  for  good  ole  Merry-Cans

So  the  line  moves  me  a little  closer  to  redemption,  2b  resold, rebranded

So  I’m  told  for  conservation  because  climate  is  changing……

I  hope  to  one  day  be  really  proud  2b  A-Merry-Can……crushed….

I  know  I  was  better  off  buried  within  the  dark  continent,  

At  least  then,  or  when,  I  could  appreciate  being  A-Free-Can!!!
