Dreams in a Stolen Country
Location
America, land of opportunity, but those who can't afford the dreams
in folkslore in myth, about stablity and a white picket fence
no these things cost your soul, your limbs, and your sanity
abusing the brown skinned founders of the legacy of a stolen country
while decedents of conquerers sit high with a history of the
sufferage of blacks, browns, reds and yellows being the builders of the seat that gives
the eurocentric their serenity, now to build ourselves up from the ashes of low income
and comprimised freedom and the opportunities forfeited only to have them
refered to as discpline and our actions treason, I lay myself bare in order to sustain a dream
not to sugar coat and pretend my pockets and finaces have self esteem
because they don't, my pockets can't run that deep, from my life and underneath the ground at
six feet, where my acenstors from chiefs, and slaves and borderes that bring America it's
containment and false relief , in this place wealth without aligence and born light skinned, blue
eyed and pretsigious,is like Jesus, holy, and miraculous demonstrations presented and held
over heads of those who fight and those who bled to give right and reclaim right, with police
canes and trained dogs flogging over children and womens heads
But I'm still not allowed to be fed when I say I'm hungry
the land of opportunity is a stolen country,
my dreams still keep me hungry, hoping to be able to
afford the opportunity, to educate myself, in order to free me.
