In God we trust
The Birth of a Nation
Built on
Slavery
Subjuctation
and
Forced
Sterilization
Brave
In full glory
Home of the Free
(well ... it's supposed to be)
Freedom
Buckling
In this
Perilous fight
Under
The proudly held
Stars and stripes
Flag
As a call for
Equal Rights
Or the other
To maintain
The Southern way of life
Brave
In full glory
Home of the Free
(well ... it's supposed to be)
In the terror of flight
There's nowhere to run
Even in
Freedom
Lynching Postcards abound
Mobs gather
Watching Black Bodies burn
Texas-style
Upcoming barbecues
Make
The evening news
No refuge could save
The next Free Slave
From
The Dogwood Tree
(one of many)
Know your place
Poetry
Works both ways
Hanging
In full glory
Home of the Free
(well ... it's supposed to be)
History's imposition
The future's inquisition
More ...
How many more to come
Before change is won
Standing brave
Notwithstanding
The gloom
Of the grave
An American horror
History
The future
Likely is
No mystery
Standing Brave
In full glory
Home of the Free
(well ... we'll see)
