I See…

Minds imprinted and scarred by the illegitimate Birth of a Nation.
Veils over minds so complete you can’t think beyond what you think you know.
Scales on eyes so thick you can’t see beyond what you think you see.

retrofitted with exploitation, extreme capitalism, and the hysteria of individualism;
held up by pillars of racism, injustice, inequity and their cousins inequality, gender violence, and stand your ground mania.
Hatred inherited and projected outward in the belief that others hate you; want to take from you; want to replace…
