Poem Title:
Poem
In arms with each other encircled In lovers’ battle, cousins under the same blazing sun And we hate them the same as they hate each other Can’t change the sun or move those storms were just waves in an ocean of hate. And we are dieing to be accepted by those we drag in the mud Behind station wagons, and hung, and burned their sacred places For fun, with guns like words and bullets handed like bread to their children. And safe with towers to the ground we just rebuild our hate Right hand world service, left hand holding bombs for babies Not our children I know the future it states black ashes will rain from heaven And we are not the same, blended and they still hating us, left us behind, to die in white, nothing holy That cross we burn here in front of their homes is the same one we place on their foreheads to save them, burnt in their flesh Freedom And I am Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist, Jewish And we love and kill the same breathe of life in us just as we will do you cousin America is atheist no religion yet we send our brothers and sister with right hand bibles and left hand guns Ak-47 freedom Freedom and we love our cousins; my cousins marched with assault weapons before them in the oceans of American pride. Freedom before us as a truly free nation…. And she knows the truth about them all Unheard, but aware of the future of this earth Mother……………
