2518, 41-Gun Salute (Diallo Tribute) Posted by poetx, Mon Mar-06-00 03:44 PM
<BR>for the non-native son a 41-gun salute<BR>says "Welcome To The US" from shock troops in jack boots<BR>with contemptous smiles, their rank-and-file Sieg Heil,<BR>while pattyrollin' land stolen, "we own the night"-style<BR>quite foul -- well, okay ...only if their prey's considered human--<BR>and therefore subject to what they've been assumin'<BR>as inalienable rights... endowed by their creator, <BR>extended to non-whites -- albeit much later, <BR>and with mad restrictions, clauses, exemptions<BR>that fly in the face of Geneva Conventions<P>who is an' ain't human<BR>is the point of contention.<P>nowadays to beat and flog a stray dog is a crime carrying jail time, <BR>but when the dawg is black an' male, justice flails, blind <BR>bitch that she be, never SEEN equity, <BR>or true equality in the land of the free<BR>an' the home of the slave, bring us your poor huddled masses, <BR>yearning to be free and we'll EXPLOIT they asses,<BR>we got plenty sub-minimum wage occupations, <BR>just waitin' for mexicans, koreans an' haitians,<BR>salvadorans, nigerians, laotians, puerto ricans,<BR>and any other nationalities i forget as i'm speakin'<BR>work em' to death, down to the Last Mohican<P>then make 'em mascots <BR>to "honor" every weekend.<P>for the non-native sons a 41-gun salute<BR>is the closest to truth from morally destitute<BR>spiritual beggars whose treachery and lies<BR>constantly contradict what they propagandize --<BR>america's truly the land of opportunity...<BR>to be served, protected and disrespected with impunity<BR>by material masters whose chains of green paper<BR>enslavement will soon disappear like the vapor<BR>from bullet-stung lungs whose last gasping breath<P>convict the true criminals, <BR>and the sentence<BR>is death.<P><BR>x.<P>respect to everyone else who's been expressing themselves, your words inspire (jane, vet, incogx, el rey, poetisa, and anyone i've omitted, i've read and dug them all)
