Sean Ferris Poem
To see the Lady in the harbor
From the deck of ship at moor
The sea and the winds that blow
Tell of freedom where liberties glow
Protection enshrined in its constitution
Articles of Confederation
The lamp lite for the world to see
Brought millions to cross the sea
The crucible an emulation of humanity
Every race and culture creativity
Is the hope still alive in the U S A
Only those with wealth can stay
Give us your tired and poor
Time to try on another shore

Sean Ferris Poem
Life is like an old mirror
Stare into it become a seer
The sins of the father they say
Someone someday will have to pay
Those things you thought you got away
Return in living color on a distant day
With disappointment you watch it all unfold
The author on things to which you've bestowed
The yin and the yang of life
Remembers those things filled with strife
Maybe life is all filled with quite dis-pare
Of those mistake that one can not repair

Sean Ferris Poem
Did you see all those N___ on their knee
Protesting millionaire players a monopoly
Those S O B's should be fired he declared
If its wasn't for football they'd be on welfare
This is the mentality of white trash society
Looking for scape goats of disparity
Right to work in poverty
Southern state mentality
Black men are under assault in plain sight
Gunned down in the dark of night
Modern day plantation owners agree
With the Mad Mans decree
Black balled for taking a knee
Colin Kaepernick knelt because of hypocrisy
Burning flag's or taking a knee
Is what it takes to secure democracy

Sean Ferris Poem
Each man kills the things he loves
Given to man from God above
Mother Earth in all her splendor
Bowing to profits praise the big spender
Each day thousands die from pollution
U S stops a United Nations solution
Millions migrate from the patched land
Building walls an American plan
Hurricanes and drought across the globe
We make bombs with laser strobes
Death from the greed that capitalism breeds
Causing Mother Earth to bleed

Sean Ferris Poem
The history of the two hundred year war
T'was blackness at it core
A Feudal Economic plan
It good conscience it couldn't stand
Thousands died in fields of waste
Quenching its bitter taste
Edits like Dred Scott
Its effect not soon forgot
Raiding maunders of the Klug Klux Klan
Hanging trees and a poll tax plan
Atrocities committed in Rosebud
Civil Rights a justice thud
Dispensation in the name of Obama
No ending there but a coma
Today they march commemorating its story
In false glorification of its history

Sean Ferris Poem
Robert e Lee was a treasonous ole soul
To defeat the republic his goal
Slavery was abolished the people were free
But only two third a southern decree
The republic with stood the brutal onslaught
Capturing the rebels stopping the plot
50yrs after the civil war
They put up a monument to lee's slavery once more
In two thousand and seventeen
They thought it was time the south came clean
Remove ole Lee off his high horse
But the white supremest and KKK had no remorse
They march on Charlottesville with torches a blaze
Singing Nazi slogans eyes filled with craze
Their hate of black and Jews they proclaimed
Three dead and trump said no one to blame
All people just want to live free
But hate filled hearts and ignorant animosity
Another day in racist America rose in Charlottesville
White Sheets and a rope looking for brother to kill

Sean Ferris Poem
Corruption stagnation
A lost nation
A warrior creed
Freedom but a seed
Higher ideals
Millions it kills
Distrusted across the globe
Killing combatants with a strobe
War makes millionaires
Turns billionaires into trillionaires
A gentry class
Proletariat's mast
A tale of two peoples locked in
Democrats and republics political spin
Whites’ hidden hatred
A majority they dread
Gives us your poor and humble
Off to war they’ll crumble
America farce extolled
The citizenry have been rolled

Sean Ferris Poem
I followed your trajectory with my telescope
Over the moon a complete eclipse
While laying on your back you saw
The man in the moon
You wrote him a note put in a bottle
Across the universe it sailed
He did not return a signature
But he laughed when he saw yours
As you ran down the hill you fell
x rays revealed you have one lung
The open book and glass of wine
Cigar smoke exists the other one
Like the shooting star
From you I am never far

Sean Ferris Poem
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah biblical sense
The inability of repentance
Turned to a statue of stone
The truth as it was shown
America may suffer the same fate
Evangelicals at the pearly gate
Lust, greed and debauchery
A government in the troughs of tyranny
Vulgar and uncouth pronouncement of discourse
A divided nation without remorse
Plotting tax break for the most wealthy
Eliminating healthcare for the poor and unhealthy
America calls itself a Christian nation
Christ called for the lest of you participation
Hedonism in the land of the free
God have mercy
