Black Flight

M. Obama whined to the world about white flight.
Implying a racist slight against P.O.C communities...
But why would any sane Caucasian want to live 
where they're increasingly unwelcome
and disproportionately targeted for crime.

Why would they want to open a business
when dreams are dashed by looters
with the first sign of civil unrest or otherwise...
Why would any Caucasian stay in a place
where they're constantly branded as racist?
For that matter, why would any sane person want to live 
in a war zone of perpetual bitterness and imminent threat.

While M. Obama is frothing about white flight
She's nestled her in an 8-million-dollar mansion.
In the heart of Martha's snow-white Vineyard.
Ground zero for the privileged. 
Talk about the epitome of a hypocrite.

do as I say not as I do, we are at war, its an emotional rollercoaster war that seems to have no end. Better brace ourselves, and keep vigilant dear poet, only God can redress us all and fix us, cut out the disease and make us whole again. Never been much on religion but these days, my knees ply more easily, Much love Vie
