Powers That Be

To the powers that be. I've allowed you to view my weakness like an opportunity. Give school children fatherless babies, and preach their nudity to the congregation. Pagan prostitute purchasing pastor preaches to a godless nation. Commit adultery upon the body of Christ and a ct sinless. Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of good knowledge, lest thou be skinless. Take a wrong turn like Brenda and get hit by a bullet train. Of alcohol abuse, drug addiction, and mental strain. We don't live under the same sun. When you were wealthy, my poverty had already begun. You got to university, I died from hunger in Somalia. Because of my skin, I've become victim to sickness, AIDS and malaria. My protests end in bloodshed because of gunshots. If we hungered not to perish, we'd do nothing to fill those empty pots. String my wings with the chords of your swollen affection. Allow your Jacobs to rule the nation, they're the masters of perfection. Your nation of rapist gay men has narrowed the country's vision. You sodomize my sisters in your office,under cop supervision. You molest my brothers and torture a nation. Kill my spirit entirely, and resurrect an evil nation.
