Feb's last day, Still Celebrate

Instead of doing my usual #vss365 piece, I've decided to do a 3 word generated poem, and as you can tell from the video below, the words are: large, fall, and load



 


Last day

of the month
    celebrate 337

Large land mass
    stolen with gun powder 
    from the east &
    small pox from 
    unclean Europeans

They fall
    unlike angels from 
    heaven,
    morals fall faster 
    than wishes for better 
    life, and destinies manifested
    they
failed.

Lock & load
    enslave, whip, beat
Lock & load
    freedoms fought for
    never really won
Lock &load
    black codes, segregate
    burn black towns
Lock & load
    cops blue black billy club
        spills red
    teachers blonde 
        bully but don't educate
    cells built en masse
        filled to capacity

The ballot failed,
    no shell casings on the ground
The sheep sit,
in arm-chairs...
    
    Revolution?

The questions awaits its
    answer.
