Exit Womb
(Muzzle Birth of a Nation)
In the Big Bang beginning,
there was an American Revolution
for freedom ... musket in deed
1776 did the Constitution birth certificate read
But, there was also
an umbilical fetter prequel
to this universal liberation story
1619 did the colony charter abortion bleed
Pregnant with hope,
the barrel chest,
maternity cotton-dressed Lady
prematurely
delivered her ridiculed babies
Over 150 years of bastardly greed ...
many moons of half-breed, coin illegitimacy
(Those chained children
came out of the dark exit womb
crying silently)
For this, in deed,
was the muzzle birth of a nation
Musket tears mute born of captivity grief
What a painful entrance into New World life,
such a groveling delivery!
The fetter cord children,
who came out of the exit womb,
were auction adopted
in the free-market place (post-partum quickly)
The foster parents were so trigger happy
to receive their musket tear babies
As the fake-Independence birth celebration
saw the Roman candle fireworks
of the Star Spangled cannon guns blazing
This tragic exit womb,
of an irony caged turtledove,
had heavy metal complications
The pellet price of uncut cord freedom
is ere paid in a bleak future dearly
Past sins twas resumed,
in unsevered remembrance of
the muzzle birth of a nation
Oft how the forefathers’ clan clarion
denounce their bastard kin yearly
