kidnapped
Stolen at birth It's innocence It's Potential stripped away by its Perverted founding fathers Swept under Holy sheets of white Stained in blood Embellished with Manifest Destiny We thought we could escape this feigned ghost Spotted in deep red We hoped we would find it Remove the blotches Revive the spread Wash the flag clean Freedom, hope, abundance america But, Nations built on sinkholes Don't stand long In the meantime we Inhale the fumes oozing from Pipe dreams we know tar is filling our lungs still, We call this air clean We remembered America as an ideal The prodigy child Until Trump Trump was us stumbling upon America's young limp body With cold eyes rotting away in a corn field her soul sucked out Left to disintegrate By the invention of Whiteness That plagues both races A cure that division won't allow Oh but we won't mourn Her loss soul for We have mourned already my people knew Now we simply have more proof Trump has placed a mirror to The festering sore Of dreams deferred These scars are where past and present meet In this Rejoice It is time to sever the limb The time is nigh children of fire blood and flesh Dance beneath the moon For the revolution calls It's howling for you.

when i was 10
I watched my hamster run Full speed towards the glass of his cage The wheel turned rapidly Beneath his paws He stopped But the wheel took him for a ride His body flailed in the belly of machine he once powered Jenny told Forrest "Whenever you get scared Run Don't try to be brave, just run" because Jenny was running too We are all running Running from or towards ourselves Later I would witness the hamster Defy the intended use of that wheel He stuffed the bedding beneath it It was stopped in its tracks A wrench had been thrown into its gears He shakily scaled its sides and Over and out of the cage he went That hamster was wiser than most men Are we full yet?
