Whitewashed (Poem)

The systems of be-LIE-fs
in this whitewashed land
Are more than I can take
More than I can stand

I try to stand up
Then I get knocked back down
Debased and ridiculed
Told to move to another land

But this land ain’t your land
This land ain’t mine
This land is God’s land
And we are trespassers of the worst kind

We take what we want
Give nothing back
But a whole lot of garbage
And an ocean full of plastic

Then we act like we’re better
A different kind of humankind
As we exploit and oppress
And take sides on the cash line

But in the end it’s all a pile of HoNKey shit 
Piled as high can be
Then blasted by the Sun into a whitewashed pile of dookie
