We What People

We What People

I no longer have the constitution for.

We what people 


of these disconnected states


of distracted mindfulness.

We what people 


middle aged overweight

angry white men
blaming

the brown, the yellow,

the other for

not being able to get over

the top of whatever problems 


are holding them back.

We what people


unemployed and undereducated

black men and women with

a chip on their shoulders the size

of Africa
and with

a better chance of being shot at

or incarcerated


than getting a decent job

or a college education.

We what people


ultraconservative cry babies

who
can't get a grip on their lives


because God never

seems to
answer

their 3 AM crisis of confidence calls.

We what people


the intimidated and

Pavlovian underclasses
taught

to claw at one another

for 
high priced items of distraction.

We what people


overeducated college graduates


raised of twisted viral online hate

who can't find the jobs

that
once were in abundance

but now seem to 
have fallen

through the cracks
of

corporate greed.

We what people


citizens under the rub

of guns and weaponry 


waving flags like crooked fingers


at the rest of the world 


while claiming that we the people


are by some psychotic providence

the chosen ones.

We what people


lost like a child in a fairytale forest


scared of our own shadows


crying and shivering with snot

upon our shirt sleeves

for we have forgotten

to lay out bread crumbs


to trace your steps back out of

our self created mayhem and mess

so we may return to a world

that looks down upon us

in jaw dropping awe.

We what people 


silver spoon fed propaganda


slogans proclaiming and

preaching what you yourself 


don't dare do or

say out loud


but only the balls to mutter

under your egg McMuffin breath

when there is nobody

in hearing distance of 


the office water cooler.

We what people


of bold brash statements


of seeding lies that grow

into fact


of breeding a hate that will

linger
longer than

any of our lifespans


of setting our children up

to fight
conflicts created

out of our own impulsive insanity.

We what people


compliant and complacent 


accepting a slow death 


fenced in suburban dwellings 


safeguarded by quick draw security firms


from the influx of tired immigrants

who actually aren't that different

then your own forefathers were

only a century ago.


Oh, 
We what people 


where have our convoluted

and
contorted ideas

of our constitution 


lead us to.

We what people

In a so called civil society 


where our future leaders

and the protectors of 


what values we have left to squander


portray themselves like pro-wrestlers


inside steel cages of futile child like rage.

We what people 


of blaming the sexuality of another

for our crumbling social constructions.

We what people


drowning in a sitcom sewer

of being dumbed downed
by

the fear of being

out smarted by
our own potential.

We what people


of tongues ulcerated

from
the continuous insinuation

of insult and dead of sanctified spirit.

We what people


with your right wing

glued to the Bible 


swearing to tell the truth 


all the holes in your truth


while living the lie


that these Misguided States of America


were really ever established

for all the people,

We what people.

We the people.
