Poem Title:
Poem
Envisions of a new world order Have infected My ideologies Concerning political parties. Apathetic to the suicide bomber Clutching his holy scripture As Jesus is turned Into an aborted fetus. Starving for liberation, Feed us. The refugee diet Is to die for, try it. Stomachs bellow As anxious toes embrace dirt, The ravenous pride of the nation Echoes anticipation. A scrambled breakfast Governed by corruption Served with a life time Supply of fervent AIDS Lunch smothered in rape With a free side of abduction For the main course: Genocide platter Mass produced for thousands Guaranteed to be The last meal you'll need. Original recipe Provided by Chef Hitler Improved by Africans. Honor roll, Honorable But when you're in the projects Good grades Don't stop strays Or minimum wage This is a power point; Bullet points puncture. Marauder role models Personal drive Is micro soft Where are their goals? Error: Can Not Find File Link to ambition missing No need to excel Brain is a blank desktop That's screen saver Screams for a savior Poverty striken hompage Frozen Black plague virus No chance at Socio-economic advance Now tomorrow you face book Crash. A diploma and welfare check, Makeshift teflon vest, At best Yet, A mic or a round ball Provides the best bet. At ease soldier, No questions vet. We don't ask You don't tell. Afterall, We don't even know What your really fighting for Or whether you aim to please Or shoot to kill. America was stolen from natives, Built by immigrants. Dear foreigners, Thank you for making our bed, Now sleep outside Where the homeless won't But beware of dehydration Land mines Barbed wires And snipers. P.S. Happy Thanksgiving. Sincerely, Your friends in America I see society with my eyes closed And wade for the truth. Diving into the obscure Pits of morality Searching blindly For enlightenment, Butterfly stroke. Inhaling the souls of slaves Exhaling the souls of colonists Civil rights submerged Drowning at the border Gasping for freedom. This oppression is toxic. Ammonia aroma Intellectual paralysis Socially concious coma. Divided we've stood United we'll fall. -Stephen Kofi Opare Obeng
