America has been feasting
on that Billie Holiday strange fruit
for so long,
drinking that thick red wine
straight off the long thin vine
of mankind’s suffering,
profiting from people losing their sanity,
gaining from the loss of our humanity.
Black as that sweet star sparkling night,
mothers, and fathers denied the right
to stand up and fight,
bullets to the back
as they try to enter their own houses,
bullets to the side
right in front of their children and spouses,
bullets through the heart of a child
in the middle of his imagination,
bullets through her bedroom,
no space to escape
not even some safe head room:
All that agony and desolation
to be constantly facing
violence and degradation
from the so-called authority figures
who only see another dead ******.
Blue lives, white supremacist guys,
proud boys and Neo Nazis
have grown obese.
These foul ******* beasts
have eaten the heart and soul of us
right off our bones and thrown
the rest to the scavengers back home.
