It’s 2021 And America Still Holds Slaves
New Trail Of Tears Poetry
Do you have any idea
How hard it is
To listen to others
Men, women, even children
Be given the credit
For your inventions
Your creations
Your writing
Your lyrics
Your ideas
Your negotiations
It’s happened to me
Decade after decade
All because handlers
Racist, fascist pedophiles
Don’t have to answer to anybody
Full immunity
Given years after molesting and torturing me
With full knowledge of the ugly deeds
No care at all
For my humanity
But to many
This is my shame?
SMH!
My handlers said
They had to keep me quiet
And well hidden
So that no one will ever
See all the sins they commit
Just like that
With the lies from their lips
I become property
Nothing resembling a human
All rights removed from me
Tortured and traumatized
Decade after decade
To this very moment
No one cares
But I’m the one
Who is an abomination?
I’m not the one doing sick ish
Or lying and covering
For anyone who is!
Do you have any idea
How disturbing it is
To watch people literally make
Billions off of me
Repeatedly
Greedy thieves
Rapists, pedophiles, Jack booted
Hate mongering
Holocaust after holocaust
Genocide after genocide
Weaponization of everything imaginable
Even me
Swallowing my anger
Day after day
Year after year
Decade after decade
Because the thieves don’t like
Accountability
WTF!
Watching them
Be called genius
Receive rewards
Awards
Privilege
All for my creations
While I live
In extreme poverty
Continuing to get
Raped, tortured, strangled
Enslaved
No one questions the men
Or the women who lie for them
Only me
And my sanity
As if being the target of crime
Makes you inferior somehow
Look how many believe this
But I’m the one who is sick?
Just pay me what I’m owed
So we can all get on with living

I shouldn’t have to beg
Not for anything
What did I serve for
Decade after decade
To be enslaved?
But I thought America didn’t do such things
I can’t even get COVID relief!
Or social security for my disabilities
Which I acquired from serving this country
But all anyone will say is
“We can’t verify your identity”
Bull shyt!
You know the composition of my feces
From space
Always have
Always will
I’ve lived like this my entire life
But I’m not supposed to talk about such things
I’m not your experiment
I’m a human
I’m a living breathing being
Whom you have tortured
And raped
Decade after decade
Even tried to kill me
Repeatedly
But you claim
This isn’t ethnic cleansing?
Lies you tell
But I’m the only one
Suffering for your crimes
DISGUSTING!
