beneath the layers of red white and blue fabric are some serious wounds that have not completely healed and though they are kept concealed they’re ever-present oozing an infectious hate into the bloodstream of even those not yet born part of their inheritance an inheritance of denied national crimes covered over with the fabric of myths and lies revisions to history protection rewrites turning criminals into national martyrs while the true martyrs that died are ignored cuz it’s bad press the founding fathers started this whole mess so it’s not too surprising scars are deeply embedded into the nation’s body what’s most upsetting is it appears that gangrene’s in the nation’s mind those once thought to be insane now are heralded as leaders surely this maddness is a harbinger of death the death of freedom and of all our aspirations for a true democracy
once baptized
with time
all
previous crimes
are to be forgotten
offenses of morality
are
washed away
and
we are encouraged
to
forgive
forgiveness
society’s masquerade
the transubstantiation
of
immoral acts
into
the divine law
of
man
so
unjust deaths
from
prejudice
religious intolerance
and
corporate profit taking
are to be seen
as
purified
by
the passage of time
politicos say
we must
forget
transgressions
in order
to move forward
but
forgiveness
is impossible
when
standing
among
the graves
of those
who died
for
the illusion
of
justice
the nation’s first charters crafted by the founding fathers concealed their intent to build an empire like that in britain a matter of pure greed and greed’s cancerous effects though denied by historians was evident for one merely needed to count the slaughtered bodies that history had disguised as acts of valor by men claiming that freedom was their reason for murder so indigenous women and children were just collateral damage during the nation’s founding the fields of battle a place of scorched earth and rape in liberty’s name not your usual concept of patriotic acts of valor but crimes of hate and greed which was infused into the nation’s fiber but the founders knew that few would want to die for another’s greed so parables were created to conceal the truth so war’s dead could be wrapped in flags and national fables
the truth’s been paved over a black layer of lies covers the visible surface while the foundation of your existence is hidden beneath where you stand today your firm footing provided by what you have failed to learn and understand your crime is one of ignorance and blind acceptance for even a mother lies to conceal crimes of passion so it should be no surprise that a nation seeks to bury its cardinal sins
cellar wine bottles
though they look identical
some are now bitter
tainted grapes when bottling
from life’s polluted waters
flowing through the world’s nations
acidic waters
that have hate’s lingering taste
that cannot be concealed
by history’s polished glass shells
nor the labels shown outside
beliefs
empty shelves
for
the homeless
and
blind believers
of
words
translated
from
a contrived text
carefully
written
to
reflect
current
marketing trends
but
as
the market
has changed
numerous
rewrites
have been
required
rewrites
where
history
remains
but
a culturally
accepted
mass
propaganda
used
to shape
young minds
into
a fantasized
void
of
yesterday
where
lollipop kings
and
fairy queens
grant
wishes
that
should have never
been
made
whether a person or a nation lies conceal actions actions that reveal wealth and power are more important than human lives lives crushed under the weight of their own ignorance and blind faith faith that words are sacred even when spoken without a shred of sincerity
