with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,

Americans, Algerians, Australian aborigines,
Corrupt leaders of the world involved in illegal activities.
Bloodthirsty bullies brazenly bombing bystanders,
Militaries full of corrupt army commanders.
Charities for children, carers in communities,
Third world countries deprived of equal opportunities.

Gross Income 


80% of the entire global wealth
Is owned by 15% of the global population

Never before in the annals of human history
Has so much been owed 
To so many
By so few

The sow beauty queen’s

The cloven jaw cutie’s
favorite sound is “cha-ching”

I’m a plantation commodity item,
blue-eye gem slave engraved 
in red clay walls Ivory bank vaults

I was silver dross reject packaged:
Prison cargo bar code stamped 
coming to America

Cold-hearted hate-based belief
Frigid permafrost principles of sub-zero greed

Lots of cash, plenty of bling.				
Dollars earned, dollars spent.				
Making...

 The stars of society,
 great notion once did scintillate;
 their glow burned too fast,
 ash, cinder, sloth, agnominate;

 life, guts all souls;
