THE WAY OF THE WICKED

___________________________
Diabolical insight into
Truth amassed from a society
bound by the pledge of allegiance
to controlled capitalism
For Which It Stands.
One Nation Under God.
A powerful leader beats the drums of war
driven by deep depths of darkness
Pain is inflicted
Blood is shed
Tainting what’s left of a defected creation.
Savagery of the beast.
A parched desire desperate to
quench a thirst for greed
delivered by an oppressor
indifferent to human suffering
Overcome by opportunity to express wickedness.
Survival at the cost of blood from angels.
cries of the innocent go unheard
suppressed by political prevalence
The smell of burning flesh and singed hair
correlates with the dark black clouds of
The smoke screen.
Just another casualty.
Desperate rummaging through rubble
in search for a buried truth
unearths the corpse of its Nations secrets
hidden beneath the mourning of a loved one
From the river to the sea.
Deceived by the illusion of freedom.
Hate manifested into malicious manifestos
expressed through violence
Political parties ovulated in the womb of the world
oxidizing the air of oppression
Divided by a flag.
Separated by iron stripes and many broken stars.
The atrocities of war testify against
equal rights for people of color
when the Crimson street corners are crowded
with White men in Blue suits
Cultivated chaos.
Patronized patriotism.
veiled by indivisible
Liberty and Justice
For ALL.
