American Racism I

roots disassociated from rain

refuse to grasp an earth 

codified by its reverence for inclusion,

penchant for dynamism,

and bend toward revolution.

singular entities captured by a flawed entropy

see singular masses apposite to the other,

creating visions of dissection that illumine

histories drenched in the blood of exceptionalism.

 

from a vantage of hatred

trees bleed black,

borders breed brown,

yellow eats ridicule,

all red dissolves,

denial defies the foreign, 

and everything is white.

an industry of indoctrination supersedes decency

across populations as obvious and as hidden as

once was cutely corralled by our south and north,

now acutely endowed with a rendition of the past

intellectually unsound and emotionally sacrosanct.

what will break the steal of the millennium?

what will transcend our horrors of transgression?

what will restore a dignity never born?

nothing, save unseating from power a troubled mind.
