Analysis of Descendents Of Evil



Fed to feed continuously,
On comparisons and insecurities.
Is a theft of reality.
Sold on told lies.
And explanations as to why,
Disparities between diverse races...
Have historically existed.

And...
Has been effectively allowed,
As some kind of sacrificial ritual.
With it permitted to expect,
As a way of life to envy...
Worship and praise.
By those who choose and accept...
Subservience to nourish upon.
Proving their devotion,
To being a Christian.

And being treated disrespectfully,
As a protesting tool to demonstrate...
How they prefer it best,
When done to do this to themselves!
But...
With a faithful tenderness,
That only a hypocrite can justify...
The applying of it.

'This...
Foolish nonsense can not be true!'

'You are right.
It had been,
The Native American Indians...
Who provoked their own demise.
When annoying the singing,
Of cowboys...harmonizing...
'Home home on the range.
Where the deer and the antelope play.
And seldom is heard,
A discouraging word.
While the skies are found cloudless,
All day!''

'Oh.
So...
The Indians began dancing?

And...
That began the buffalos
