My American Dream

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 7

The necks of those ~

 

who can least

defend themselves

         is stepped on

 

         as lives transform

         in shades of black and brown

 

to a number on lock down

on C Block

 

         You circumcise my rights

         so I can’t oppose you

 

tell me go f u c k myself

and envy

 

          that I can rise

          beyond that s h i t

 

and marvel

how I can f u c k you

with your own d i c k

 

           Give me your weak

           your hungry

 

those yearning

to breathe free

 

           as you blow smoke

           up my ass

 

like I wouldn’t know

the difference

 

between your breath on my butt..

 

                     and words

just recited to be heard

 

          And yet . . .

 

and still you say

give me your masses...

 

          legal forced labour

          of the underclass

 

whose only crime it was

they were born poor

 

          how can you not

          see in my eyes ?

 

how do you not

feel what I feel ?

 

           The cold ground

           beneath my naked feet

 

as the rank of my existence

ooze between my toes

            but:

            no one but me

            knows my pain

 

The stink of sweatshops

makes you rich

 

            as I struggle to breathe

            beyond tomorrow

and:

use tomorrow’s air today

hallucinate blinding stupor

 

             r a t I o n a l i s e...

 

             everything‘s OK

 

Sweat furrows the brow

 

as I cower

in this subterranean suite

 

             and eat for the first time

             this week

 

as trains go rushing by

 

             and I....

 

wishing for another high

to escape this surreal reality

 

             t h i s..

 

   My American Dream !
