Poem
White America is uncomfortable with moving forward, they want their future to go back to the past “Make America Great Again!” A brand chiseling, cave wall jingo retail sale slogan Snowflakes wanna hear the retro frost sound of Viking cold chains rattling When naked oppression was Dixie singing That kind of Babel Tower progress, I ain’t feeling it; them good ol’ boy days, when America was great ... My skin kin was moaning and screaming They were auction sold: Crying and wailing ... families split asunder weeping Now, many golden amber hearts wanna go back to that dreadful time The Jim Crow chorus of assimilation animus caw with shade malice lip hate crime And not to mention, the wage money that was free labor stolen — Pyramid scheme abolition Seems America was really great at emancipated slave trade: Pharaoh prison conditions Ivory House tombstone bellows are foaming more divisive temporal waves Remember the recent weepy, minstrel Happy Days, when forced segregation was the legal rave ... befo’ that supreme peace fellow, nappy Harriet gave a Thurgood gavel save But, I ain’t feeling that rainbow kind of righteous vibe anymore My grandfather clock is tick-tock moving backwards, heading for the slave quarters entrance door I suppose, it’s a great Confederate Prussian dishonor, not to wanna rebel blue revel in the past Especially, when you gotta red flag the fake hosannas, that old timey white noise on bugle blast Glaucoma grey vision shows it’s great to be blind again Lassie Lady Liberty limp trots leer comfortable ... walking with a pale bigotry Cain is a guide dog decision America’s choice — they picked the lewd runt of the litter Little horn voice blowing trumped up memories bitter
