Before they slaughter the trees
and dry out the seas,

Before they bring us to our demise,

**** every single one of them.
Take their powdered faces and show them the familiar places.

The trees we belonged to,
the farms we melted ourselves into,
our cracked hands and crippled songs.

“We the People of the United States,”
belong to a defective system.

“In order to form a more perfect Union,”
we must ****** any other color but the one starting with W and ending with E.

We must

“Establish Justice,”
through ruptured services provided by
our land of the free.

“Insure domestic Tranquility"
by wearing black blood as medallions
and hanging limbs on walls like taxidermy projects.

They must,

“Provide for the common defense (of their people),
promote the general Welfare (of the 1%),
and
secure the Blessings of Liberty
to ourselves (themselves)
and
our (their)
posterity."

We the people of The United States,
are the opposition.

We the people of The United States,
have become a mixture of burnt down protest and invisible words.

We the people of The United States,
are nothing but pawns in a rigged game of chess.

We the people of The United States,
must
****
just
like
them.
