A little political tension to close out Independence Day Week, because some people definitely think there is a lot of Red with that White and Blue. Also, please note that this "author" has another bit of floetry where he actually says the words, "I love this country". Nothing Is Perfect, so please don't hate on free speech.
Friday Floetry:
Close your mind
Close your eyes
See with your heart
How do you forgive the murderer of your father?
The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr
We came through the storm
Nooses on our necks and a smallpox blanket to keep us warm
On a 747 on the pentagon lawn
Wake up the alarm clock is connected to a bomb
Anthrax lab on a west Virginia farm
Shorty ain't learned to walk already heavily armed
Civilians and little children is especially harmed
Camouflaged Torahs, Bibles and glorious Qurans
The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there
Have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare
We read 'em with blind eyes I guarantee you there's more there
The rich must be blind because they didn't see the poor there…
...It's like don't give the black man food, give red man liquor
red man fool, black man ni**a
give yellow man tool, make him railroad builda
also give him pan, make him pull gold from river
give black man crack, glocks to teens,
give red man craps, slot machines...

You make it sound like we live in Africa. Do you know this is America?
