the velvet darkness
is flaming stars
sweetest smile turn of cheek
flayed lips broken teeth
gentle hands graceful point
the cursing finger of the reaper
softly stepping silently
on cloven hoof
the virgin gift
the sacrifice
all of the dead
living endless lives
the son of God
every battle slain
the generosity
gathered in taxes
the patriot guarded borders
made up names with imaginary lines
all for one one for all
melanin not withstanding
in God they trust
pyramids blind stacked hoarded
the sky
with boundaries
the forests
with saws
the electric
for cash
the sweet ocean
for drowning
