Today, the pomp
and circumstances of
unrobed and uncapped
reality of racism
marches to the beat of
a different drummer.
And in the enlightening
protesting truths,
its murdering collateral
damaging is revealed
and its social DNA origin
micro-probed, i.e.:
Damn (red) Natives and
(black) Africans!”
Had it not been for these 2
and the fertility
of oppression, perhaps
a mutated nation
would not have been
conceived; save that union
of ethnic differencing and rape!
A union that began with
aboriginal decimation of one
land and rape of another;
leading to the long walk and
trail of tears flowing to a sea
of a middle passage sojourn
and a painful arthritis-like
bending broken knee mentality.
Can there be historic any
Justification for such social,
Economical and political
Vandalism of one home and the
same adjective caesarian-like rape
of another because of a desire
to conceive a bastard child infused
with genes of bigotry and hatred for
beautiful colored skin of red blood,
white bones and sky blue hope?
Yep, that’s how it all began;
the birthing of a new nation
conceived in oppression
and dedicated to ever maintaining
its racist oppressive origin or die
trying. And the irony of it all is the
prostitution of Christian ethnics as one
of those any means necessary—the
so-called god-fearing bigots saw as their
duty to rid the world of those deemed
less than human— heathens & ungodly
savages doomed to the hell of reservations,
equal slave quarters, and when necessary,
designated cloistered gender-bias areas.
But today commences the arrival
of a new graduating class marching
down the isle of modern history
and all our stories—in which all are
valedictorians and salutatorians
of truth’s enlightenment; and just as
the original and cargo hued could not be
exterminated, neither will the new world’s
marching rainbow gatherers be. Yesterday
is gone. Today is here. Time marches on
and tomorrow impatiently awaits its dawning
and the demise of today’s white house’s
Columbus/Hitler caricature and his hostage-like
peevish wimping supporters of abject racism.
Through the valley of the shadows of death, we
continue to fearlessly march towards liberation.
