So Many Meanings

words no longer fall on deaf ears
a silent majority stands above the fray
preachers carry guns into churches
choirs sing of the coming rebirth
parents reject new waves of influence
bottle lines are drawn on streets
law enforcement retires from service
lawlessness runs rampant in our cities
leaders behave lis ostriches as
division separates rather than unites...
we are in despair as we desparage
each other along the lines of our color
that we fought so long to eliminate...
dancing with clowns are the signs
we carry with us into the streets of
the cities in which we were once
proud to live but now renouce
because of all the crime...  we hate
our brothers because of their color
and we renouce our sisters because
of their false claims...  immigrants
flood into our nation like the plague
written about in our holy book of
fears while we pray to our new
financial gods for a little relief...
we hunker down like mules hoping
the change we resist disappears as
fast as it arrived, making sure all our
food is eaten and none thrown away
to the rats who now patrol our future...
chanting the word that have so many
meanings that it's hard to tell their truth.
