The Politics Of Fear In America
Americans never understood the
complicated
ramifications of the Patriot Act
using the inherent fear all people
have of each other.
When driven into hidding, where
once good people
could spread far and wide
to evolve beyond American politics
and racial limits.
Without contact with each other we
are dehumanized.
Martial law will come, not if but
when
people become afraid to walk the
streets they live in.
Turning each other upon, setting
legal precedents
once set into motion driven by fear,
civil reasoning
can not for decades bring back.
The Roman Colosseum is more than
a land mark to history
one half million human beings lost
their lives there.
Compounded interest in modern day
numbers
would reprehensibility represent
thirty to fourty million
Innocent Jews in Hitlers ovens,
where the only people afraid were
the people being killed
for the shocking entertainment of
those watching.
Can a racist argue in American courts
Jews are Black.
Confusion ensues where you are told
that the opposite
of Vote or Die to most means.
Could America create one million
Jobs by changing the
appearance of the homeless, would
they, would you?
They they represent you,
are you this faceless representation
of them that you stand for,
and what in your name that they
claim they are doing for you?
Human beings are the condition
called you.
The Supreme court now will decide
on what you write to be heard
because of your fear of each other.
