denial of genocide or how to repeat the crime…

a piaget stage
once hidden from view it’s gone
childish behavior
but promoted by fascists
for such obvious reasons

sleepless lambs…

caged lambs
wool soaked
with urine
from
the holding pens
shivering
frightened
grasping
for
one breath
of
the promised
freedom
from
oppression
not
this
slaughter house
of
innocent souls
but
now
it’s
lights out
at
the border
detention center

 

a flag’s silhouettes of death…

you
demanded
that
i
stand for the flag
while
insisting
i should fall
at
your feet
whenever you
offer
some morsel
of
freedom
but
it was my family
that paid
in
blood
for the wealth
of
this nation
we have been
enslaved
beaten
degraded
and
murdered
for
centuries
without
cessation
of
violence
against us
for all
of
those years
and
yet
you pretend
to be
offended
when
anyone
questions
why
gratitude
should be shown
for
a history
of
barbarism

 

american genocide ethnic cleansing…

a simple process
deny basic human rights
access to healthcare
or escape from servitude
then the untouchables die
it’s a brilliant plan
better than those gas chambers
still we’ll need mass graves
but not near mar-a-lago
too close to genocide’s source
an alternative
use ancestry to link corpse
to family tree
then under threat of sanctions
force country to bury dead
there will of course be
profits to be made by some
body transport fees
will help trucking and airlines
but first we’ll extract gold teeth
essential workers
will be mostly affected
but with depression
college graduates will take
whatever job we offer
your america
will once again be bankrupt
but all of the poor
will look just like your neighbors
or like you in the mirror
