Black, White And The Many Mixed



Black, white and the many mixed,
With a blended racial heritage.
Your ears and eyes have got to be,
Opened up wide to hear and see...
The ones made sickened to believe,
Themselves chosen to ruin...
This unique democracy.
Then elected to sit in positions to decide,
Who it is the qualifies...
To represent the image of a human being.
When their minds,
Have been dwelling in darkness.
Preoccupied with a turning back the clock.
To a time...
Before the rubbing of sticks and rocks,
Introduced the light of fire,
Brought back into caves where the lived.
Where they saw images of themselves,
Mesmerized to idolize and began to worship...
As chosen favorites of the Earth.
And now, today?
It is the Universe they thirst to rule.
With a doing to conquer!

'Uh...
What about artificial intelligence?'

'That's the problem.
They intend to do this,
With 'artificial' intelligence.'

'And...
Where,
Artificially...
Will the programming of this intelligence,
Come from to do what for who?
To then be beneficial to rumored aliens,
Called extraterrestrials.
Seen in unidentified flying objects.
Claimed to be speeding back and forth...
In light years far more advanced than we are!'

'Oh...that?
We are not suppose to discuss,
What has yet been revealed to us to notice.'

'That's right.
We are suppose to pretend,
What we see in the sky is not there.
Until we are told...
Those 'aliens',
Have similar religious and political beliefs.
On the right are the conservatives.
And on the left are the liberals.'

'Yeah.
Something like that.
And none admitting to be racist or bigoted.
With a pledging allegiance to a flag.
Created by Betsy Ross.'
