In this Land

I live in a land that boasts its Christian values

Values it didn’t create, but did twist to its own whim and will

This is a place that hosts a multitude of races

Yet it’s natives are the minority’s with ever smaller growing territory,

I’m sorry family,

This land is filled with the descendants of immigrants

But it’s current leaders wish to expunge them like their parasites

In this land those with melanin have less rights than a fetus conceived through rape

It’s become harder to feed our kids than it is to Vape

Our land is the land of the free

Unless you’re talking of speech, expression or religion

Oh this land is so unique

This is the place where email location is more important than experience doing a job

Our flag proudly waves Red, White, (Black) and Blue

Especially if you let our cops use a baton or two

This is the land for you and me!

Wait that’s only if you don’t want skittles and tea

But you should seriously come to this land

Where even today there are systems in place to make you feel more beast than man

All of us no matter the color suffer the same fates

We’re citizens of these Great United States.

Dusting off…

It’s been a while since I picked up a penA long time since I used ink to sin

It’s time I stood up and fought

With the ultimate power, thought 

Or should I saw the power of knowledge 

Knowledge isn’t solely obtained in a college/

Sometimes a higher IQ belongs to a dealer in the street/

We’ve reached a time where the minds need to meet/

The scholar and the thug must join

A political tyrant threatens our education health and coin/

We need unity against the mental illness of racism/

Heroes to stand against fascism 

Warriors to defeat political bigotry

So our country can reclaim its dignity

It’s time to fight together against what they have in store/

For the betterment of our humanity, we go to war!
But only as a unified force will we succeed in bettering our land. Then and ONLY then will it be Great again.
