Prince Bush
An Angry Poem (In the Voice of Bigotry)
i love my american made
slaves. for justice, the mandatory
judicial, a mandatory
minimum for blood-thirst, man-made
law. i hate how they hate
Him, the almighty Him
who finishes off each son
for flexibility and freedom
we finish off black sons
cause even He kills
someone off
and even he killed
someone off
what makes america
is a mother’s
death, a dead or not dead
namby-pamby pushed out, abortions
aborted, babies born
through ripped raped walls still
deported
for america
you can see it
i want you to see it
and repeat it
word for word
what makes america
is the miracle:
of strong slaves who do
for america
i want you to see it
and repeat it
what makes america
is the miracle
of starry-eyed, star struck
natives
who word for word
made us out to be
miracles
now all stand for the jail
system, we make bars off the jail
system, we add barbs by the jail
system, we auction off elections for a pork chop
sandwich, we switch the offers, we vote often
for a border border bar black brown barred
system
now all stand for the pledge
allegiance, to the flog
of every united, minority
of america
