trumped: a new america

​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.
