Bids For Slavery

dismissed ethics allegations over 18 years ago
how winter is my 2002 Olympic
how sad is my song 
my soul my songs 
taken in the black and used 
to be a slave of money makers 
the scandal of Utah never to be told
gets an Distinguished Service Award
how dose your slaving go 
very well very well indeed  
where are my people 
has the government
frighten you into kitten 
or just willing subjects 
of the jungle beat

Amazing! Amazing! So amazing. So deep, my senses are pulled out to tick a yes in every line, even those they emit sadness. Great work friend.

So sad the evil effect of slavery, Verlecia. A beautiful but sad poem indeed!
