U S National Debt - My Ancestral…point Of View Poem by James B. Earley

Foreign Aid…Domestic blindness
Trillions delivered to favored few
National Debt ‘tis never mentioned
….From my ancestor's point of view

Christianity….Satan partnered
One and same in the mind of God
……Both in concert….coexisted…
Society's accepted wink and nod

Greed..belligerence..impassioned bigotry
…Historically enjoying freedom's ride
Reaping benefits of Black Slave labor's
…Whipped..and beaten...aching hides

Centuries chained in abject bondage
…Remunerated nary one single dime
Yet Affirmative Action consummate evil
The philosophy itself…the heinous crime

…No reparations……nor apology
Therein dwells the greater angst
Nation's arrogance..its reluctance
..To a benevolent...word of thanks

United States owes its very presence
Today's commodity..Slave labor built
…Once a sea of radiant Black faces
Raped morphed...now patchwork quilt

Damn the mule…the forty acres
Where's…the college…education
…The decent job.....where I'm paid
A living wage….my compensation

Forget the dole….welfare's role
…Would it be too much..to expect
Consideration regarding status
…Of my ancestor's….royalty checks

Foreign Aid…Domestic blindness
Trillions delivered to favored few
National Debt ‘tis never mentioned
…From my ancestral….point of view
