Cnn Senryu
if bombs fall on a
far off place can CNN
make us feel the pain
woman lies about
her color do we color
her in black and white
man massacres nine
innocent souls yet some care
more about burnt flag
Charley Cotton blames
the dead for dying because
they didn't want to kill
a flag flies above
intolerance lives below
hate lives between them
emancipation
reshaped a nation don't fly
stars and bars no more
