Notes About The Poem
Below I search what circumstances tell me of the current situation in America.'
That once repulsed the redcoats.' Who
To be fair were in the main poorly paid
For the overlords gain.' Today its billions
Yet i can't see it 'filtering down to that many
(Who wants or needs blood money anyway?)
I hear its a terrible thing to wrench the life
From someone.' Maybe as a buisness its
More allowed? I don't understand that' has
Anyone had a gun in their face.' For
that which belongs to another.?
Anyway what belongs to who.?
Tell me who will be stood on the spot i
stand on now in a hundred years.?
And i.'ll listen.' Yet can you guarantee it.? Another thing entirely.)
Some call him Don '
I don't know the man..? Maybe he's the
Pious type.? No Sicilian blood.? Averse
To hype.? Well he has his 'take outs' I
Never gave the orders.' Or named the guy
Who isn't?? 'The Don?' Well whatever' He's got a thing with borders.' Of maybe he'll go borderless? Only heaven knows, as time progresses and
Sifting grows, then there's another man a latin
Type ' on holiday in Brooklyn' not a doubt'
Too right.'
Now he's maybe more mafiosi.? Yet has he
Any such clout.? Do you note the play of
Circumstace.? Its maybe just a shout.' Still its
Time for the legal system.' To rise above.!
Who will be triuphant.? In the push and shove.? Will sons and daughters become
'A sad sacrifice.?' I certainly hope not.?
So help me Christ.)
