Red and Yellow Tape
Yellow tape
circling a house
a community
a sinking city
wrapping around
a country
the earth
the heart of the
universe.
Red tape
slapped over the mouths of
citizens
politicians
presidents
prophets and priests
artists and athletes
red and yellow tape wrapped
around the throat of hope...
mothers burying sons
over turf -cheap dope-religion-greed
warlords- cartels - dictators-rogue holy men
sitting on thrones of red and yellow tape
its all the same:
silence the masses
with red and yellow tape...
You know what they say
red on yellow will bury a fellow.
