Poet's Corner: "Master Killer"


I thought the sign read
"No Colored Allowed"?
Then how am I able
To articulate America's fable
Professionally?
Prophetically
Speaking:
The dark day shall come
When we realize the parts
Are worth more than the sum.
The melting pot boils.
Those that refuse to assimilate
Overflow onto the foil.
Exiled by their own accord.
Equality is an expense
We can't afford
To add to the deficit.
And not just equality
For the assimilated:
It needs to be for the humiliated.
Those that choose to live fuller;
Ignoring propaganda’s
Institutionalized filler:
The ones that are know as
The "master killers."
