In Plain Sight

The hood is foregone.
Into the past, of fired crucifixes upon front lawns.
   The day has begun, a new dawn.
Bare faced, in the sun's illumination.
   Guised within the roles that make a nation.
Spread throughout vital occupations.
   Where darkened communities suffer from the
bleached cohorts occupation.
   From tainted patrols roaming free on the range
with no scrutiny.
   To deliver captives to like minded counselors 
and judiciary.
   As aesculapian institutions dispense succor to
the most monetary.
   In conjunction with polity, where signed documentation
continues urban poverty.
   Strengthened by miseducation from chameleon educators,
educated with an educational degree.
   Conjoined in unity of conspiracy, waltzing through the
capital of democracy.
   The confederates state their supremacy optically.
It is time for the rolling back of sleeves, to fight
the good fight with bravery.
   Steadfast, and observe closely.
For the greatest trick the devil ever pulled, as evil stands
before you and me.
