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.
