What if racism –
that vile and tempestuous spirit –
made the jump
from the
hearts, minds and institutional
with a segue by way
of the esoteric
into the physical?
Impacting the masses –
body, soul and spirit –
the omnipresent struggle
to understand the unspoken
of Black and Brown people
in America disproportionately smote
and the focus lost –
as Chicken Little
is the Head of State.
A ruler not inclined to humility
never one to give alms –
or say grace.
Soullessly
holding the levers of power –
unconcerned with the needs of the many
but wholly occupied
with pushing the narrative
that the sky is not falling
and the Empire does not burn.
