Million (Souls) Sold

CATEGORY

just different

Old McDonald stole this proverbial farm,

Civil war shall forever  be constant, sharecropping alms

How  long can you  profit from  what  is not  yours 2b bought and sold?

Selling souls  of  folk  for  lore, prey  for  lords, thoughtless for innocence

Fetishes  for  supremacy, dis’sed  as lesser than equals, written in blood credo

Buck wild sequels serial fealty  to make believe, vested in offshore accounts

Emancipated Jim crow flies, buzzing and striking to pass time, in markets buy and buy

Diaspora was just  the middle  passage,  so where does it leave US if not marooned, out to see?

Trusting bills of Abe  linking  Harriet  Tubman to dollars for change, blood, sweat and tears

Currency is revoked  as  the  same  ole  story  is invoked to begin again, pledging ole glory

War torn ravages  as  ego  persists  in  distorting  outcome even in next to kins and/or progeny

Original Sins cannot be discounted  by  displays  of  chivalry  over  false  sovereignty, conglomerate’ Ly

Rallying cries of rebels  championed  as rightful  owners  of  justice  pretend its life of liberty

Crowds roar for  homeland security  scores,  even  as  visitors  are  denied  parity within tilled soils

Vagabonds in spirit  hover  over  a  globe  of  displacements’  hopes to find home revisited

Hate filled kiosks,  high  off  ignorant  rants of  familiar  ties, rallies wake against them tidal lies

Meanwhile, spiritual warfare replenishes its ranks, even whilst the torches of ill still burn

Soon, marks promise kept, the arches of justice will turn upright, as balance always intend

We the  people,  shall  have  it  our  way,  we  deserve  and  shall  take  and make our break today…..
