Shit has been fucked.
Since the Santa Maria, Niña, and Pinta
lay claim to a continent.
Trails of tears, blood, and
brown bodies, dangling in trees.
As it has been since slavery.
Since Jim Crow
inspiring Nuremburg.
Aspiring state violence.
just the latest
in the Chain, Unbroken,
from shackled men,
to 10 bullets in the back.
What now?
from the Ku Klux Klan,
Drawing a straight blue line,
to ICE.
What fucking now?
