mind contrived stories
but no correlated facts
just mere conjecture
humans seem to do that well
confusing their myths as truths
justice
anti-abortionist…
poor
little
homeless waif
you were promised
so much
but
in the end
all you’ve been given
are
worthless words
words
impossible
to digest
and
further
give off no warmth
when
winter comes
nor
cooling shade
from
summer’s heat
oh
but rest
assured
you
were
useful
in
getting
them
elected
but
you can’t take
that
to the bank
breaking news…
ain’t no breaking news
the same crimes are committed
over and over again
and the dead
still ain’t gonna get justice
for how do you give justice
to the dead
when their ashes are blown in the wind
to new crime scenes
while
those with blood on their hands
dine out on plush patios
wanting the wind to die down
for there’s
too much
dust
in the air
but you close your eyes…
everybody knows
there ain’t no equal justice
those with money
use the law for protection
those without serious cash
are who they’re protected from
the law is mostly
a contract with the wealthy
to protect and serve
their personal needs and wants
while offering to the poor
a convoluted promise
like the biblical ones
where heaven’s a real reward
so too is justice
set forth as attainable
though neither one of the two
has ever been proven true
just a hunch…
was just suspected
although no clear evidence
but thought that freedom
was never attainable
even with the chains removed
since shackles of laws were formed
test preparation…
the brown bag prophet
was busy writing
at a park bench
when i was
on my way home
when i inquired
as to
what he was writing
the prophet
said
i’m preparing
some questions
to replace
those removed
by
the college board
about
real
american history
regarding blacks
what do you
think about
this one
what does
the name
desantis
have in common
with the following words
racist
homophobic
fascist
apartheid
maybe this one
should also
be
included
how is
mussolini
to
hitler
as
desantis
is to
trump
oh hell
maybe we should
do away
with the whole
college board
since
it seems
just to be
another
political entity
and
god knows
we don’t need
another
one
of
those
criminal cases…
the brown bag prophet
was sheltering
from
a winter storm
in
the main library
roosting
in a mound
of
legal books
when i inquired
about
what he was doing
the prophet
said
i’m trying
to
figure out
the difference
between
involuntary manslaughter
and
first degree murder
when
the weapon used
is
words
and
whether or not
the number
of
deaths caused
is
a variable
in that determination
for example
that girl
whose words
led to a suicide
was
convicted
of
manslaughter
typhoid mary
got a 23 year
quarantine
for her
reckless behavior
a sentence
that
caused her death
by the way
so
what should
happen
to
politicians
whose words
result
in the deaths
of
thousands
and
in some cases
millions
even if
unintentional
it
would
still be
considered
manslaughter
under the law
since
it was due to
recklessness
but
given the number
of
deaths
does it transform
into
first degree murder
plus
shouldn’t those
those sworn
to
serve
be held
to
a higher standard
from one acronym to another…
uac
crossing the border
are
apprehended
by
dhs’s
cbp
cbp
and
ice
detain
uac
routinely
for
longer than
six months
then
cbp
transfers uac
to
hhs’s
orr
orr
operates
icfs
to house
the
uac
and
if by now
you’re saying
omg
this all seems like
tfh
shouldn’t we
be
irl talking
about
the almost
7 thousand children
separated
from
their parents
at
the border
then
ygtp
common criminals in congress…
should we be governed
by nefarious liars
just an inquiry
wondering if the nation’s
willing to drink that kool-aid
let’s play a game…
