Poetry

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.
