Built Right

This is the house built “right”.

This is the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

This is the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed  bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

This is supremacy abiding acceptably 
that stinks of the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

This is the racism staining the light prism 
casting a blight in its favor of white 
that shines with supremacy abiding acceptably 
that stinks of the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.


This is the ignorance piping the dissonance 
and chanting the tune of the morally immune 
that fosters the racism staining the light prism 
casting a blight in its favor of white 
that shines with supremacy abiding acceptably 
that stinks of the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

This is the lie as diseased as a fly 
that's spreading the ignorance piping the dissonance 
and chanting the tune of the morally immune 
that fosters the racism staining the light prism 
casting a blight in its favor of white 
that shines with supremacy abiding acceptably 
that stinks of the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

This is the consequence empowered incompetence 
brings as a penance we serve as our sentence 
for trusting the lie as diseased as a fly 
that's spreading the ignorance piping the dissonance 
and chanting the tune of the morally immune 
that fosters the racism staining the light prism 
casting a blight in its favor of white 
that shines with supremacy abiding acceptably 
that stinks of the arrogant and pervasively resonant 
that's born of the greed bred in the seed 
of the foundation of the house built “right”.

The oh so "right" have bullyjacked our American Dignity!
WE HAVE THE CURE TO THIS CANCER, THIS HOUSE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED!

-Everyone "left" whom cares enough to speak out against the greatest threat democracy has ever faced and are increasingly aware of the dangerous trajectory America is hurling towards.

Terrific simulation of house building with recursive lines, uplifting utterance for righteousness against ulterior "right", smooth rhyme and rhythm flow. wonderful piece!

Hi S1, good to hear from you. Isn't it amazing there aren't more willing to say so? I suppose one has to wonder if Americans even deserve a democracy they aren't willing to fight for?
