From Plantation To Implantation
Looks like dem old ugly chains

Beauty upgrade ... high-end cosmetic tech;
low-cost dressed in labor modest,
minimum maintentance convenience
From da delta plain sugar cane fields,
to the glamorous Silicon Valley hills:
Ancient bigotry of blood biochemistry
required some thinking ahead
Remove dem outdated iron appendages

Plantation HouseThe plantation house stood
Old and broken.
Flowers once lined the walk
Leading to the front steps.
To the left of the door
Sits a very small room.
The glass is broke and
The sun makes it past the dirt.
Light can be seen from
The very small children which
Walk past – both black...

Beyond the disgusting husk and rotten teeth and dark circles

Both on the exterior of this...

Of a pretty place having a plantation;
Where had been,
Programmed in;
Here where America is a new nation.

SAVE THE MORIBUND LUNGS OF THE EARTH
Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.
Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.
Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance...
