Infidelities Of Ms. Liberty

Poem #23

I am

Always making moves
To improve the conditions
Of my people as things
Are never equal
It's another sequel
But this ain't no movie
As the truth is the only
Thing to move me

I have been
Been forced fed lies
As we became newlyweds
But soon the honeymoon
Was over way before it began
As Liberty had a different plan
As she systemically
Slept with everyman
From the right
So what was left
Besides her infidelity
Was savagery and treachery
Another chapter in the
History of
The Divided States of
America
Which
Made slaves marry her
A replica and duplication
Of tribal nations
Who are also facing
Discrimination and
Elimination
As defecation
Piles up
No bulldozers
To haul the s**t away
So we left to pray
That this marriage
Could get annulled
But it has been to long
So the only other choice
Is to file for divorce
But the ones on the right
Have the power and the
Authority over us
So there is no justice
Because it's just us
That is being f**k**
Long hard and continuous
As people who look like us
Continue to get the short
End of the stick
As Liberty rides the di**
Of the wealthy
Causing premature ejaculation
Creating policies
That grow up and kill minorities
All because of the Infidelities
Of Ms. Liberty

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the metaphor is quite good here. She slept with every man on the right.
Absolute truth comes out of this poem, and I did mean "comes" as a double entendre.
Really strong political writer---The Beats would have welcomed you with open arms.
