This sys-tem is like a cyst
this sys-tem is a stem of oppression and isms
this sys-tem enforces indifferences
this sys-tem endorses privileges
this sys-tem coerces supremacy
one over the other
and the o-ther as o-thers
my sis-tahs and bro-thas
60% of which living at or below the poverty line
melancholy monopolized
and monotony monetized
incarcerated fathers and single mothers
and fostered children traumatized

opportunity and equality is a mockery

in this sys-tem
equality-wrong impression
freedom-false impression
justice-false imprisonment
in this sys-tem-
recidivis-m
is just a pris-m
of
revisionis-m
this sys-tem-
is inanimate and materialistic
thoughtless yet thinks for you
soulless yet calcifies the soul
heartless yet decomposes the heart
this sys-tem-
is inhumane caging humans like animals
civilized savagery separating the have’s and have not’s
faithless yet propagandizing, commoditizing, and monetizing religion while discrediting spirit in it’s psychology
flawed yet given the free reign of a paragon beyond reproach reassessment and reform
this sys-tem-
is a boot that kicks you
steps on you
stands on you just to appear taller and more imposing
while yelling at you to stay down or they’ll shoot!
this sys-tem-
gives the illusion
of assis-tance
and insists
its
sense of cents
over sentiment
is civ-ic
this sys-tem-
gives the illusion
of assis-tance
and insists
it’s
dominant and pure capitalistic structuralis-m
of
currency creed constitution consciousness color culture crime and classis-m
is to your benefit
this sys-tem-
conditions
its symp-toms
this sys-tem-
is chaos
appearing calm
creating chaos
in opposition
to social revolutions
this sys-tem-
is status quo
in opposition
to social evolution
this sys-tem-
is indoctrination
in opposition
to cultural historical social spiritual and conscientious education
this sys-tem
this sys-tem
this system!
is madness
maddening
its too much!
but all I want…
all we want…
is a fair chance
but that’s only propagandized
to bolster and sell us all on this system
with the illusion of comfort
so we can all feel safe
against those that would oppose
this system
but when has this sys-tem
been great for them-
the leftovers and left behind
when has this sys-tem
been more than
“just be grateful”
rising to the promise of being great for all
