Unable to un-alienateA Poem by ApparitionA poem about my thoughts on immigration and unalienable rights.Unalienable rights, right? Wrong! You live the immigrants plight. All men are not created equal All banks are created evil, with tellers from Hell Your' fight's feeble, like dwelling in ocean swells in an attempt to stay afloat You've been coaxed into believing in change and hope Wrangled by a rope made of broken federal reserve notes Over edible quotes from forefathers, I choke Like people in Iraq from chemical residues and gun smoke But ask the world's populous which way the blood soaked waters float They'll tell you West, the new world, land of the free That last statement seems to be contradictory Because nothing's free, not the sweat on your' temple This is the land of the capital, -listic Capital punishment, what's the point, we missed it A merging of misfits, wholly sadistic, it's time to flip scripts And get back to the original tip of the outstretched finger My tendency to rant lingered, until I found my way back to the purpose Unalienable liberties do not belong to people come' from countries full of misery It's wisardry, we were all created equal, except for foreign people Except for non-white, non-christian, faces of evil All men instead, created victim, because might makes right And that includes unalienable rights, right? Shut up and listen Let's keep it civil, no not the liberties, let's keep the civil ones at a minimal I am not being cynical, this time, this rhyme will stay original All things Biblical are not law or literal, but certain rules smelted in gold leaf Should be applied, in the name of those that died for freedom, I wipe the tears full of beer from my eyes and relinquish my stance There's too many a******s born here who don't deserve to live So why not give the immigrants a chance? To work, to earn a perk in life So they can sweep up all the dirt in your streets, taking towels to toilet seats They don't deserve rights, they don't deserve to be free This thought unnerves me, it's early, I'm already feeling surly Unalienable, did they read the definition? Or create there own, An antonym, completely contradicting To them it means, if your' an alien, then we are unable to award your rights And by all men, they must have meant christian land owning whites Confederate etiquette, racist edifice, with Satan's words etched in the wall Three fifths, created by elitists and greedy pricks Who only cared about the quick, not in for the long haul I'm like a blond 'Saul," with less poetic ways of saying Oppression, economic depressions and constant regression has got my hair graying I hope that for progress we must digress, too bad the right-wing married left So I'm not holding my breath
