America Bleeds

America Bleeds

I know
for
Many

Hearts
Bleed
For
What
We have
Become

I know
For
Many
Voices
Have
Been
Muzzled

By activist
Bourgeoisie 
Disguised 
In 
Blue collar
man's
Clothing

MLK
Harry Truman
Robert Frost
Have been
Replaced
With 
Cheap
Replicas 
that
Are
Not
Pure
In
The
Center 

We are
A
Nation
Divided
Yet
I do
Not
Think
We
Have
Really
Asked
Ourselves
As
to
Who
Have
Been
Doing
The
Dividing?

At some
Point
We as
A
People
Must 
And
I
Mean
Must
Reconcile
To
The
Fact
That 
It is
our leaders
Who
Have
Failed
Us
And
It is ourselves
Who are 
Responsible
For
Not
Making
Them
Accountable

He cannot
Compare
Trevon Martin
To
A
Son
He never
Had

And in
The birther
accusations
From
The one
who
Wears 
His head
Red,
only
Sparked
Additional
Flames
To
Disunity

We have
Failed
Because
We allowed
Powerful
Dishonest
Hearts
To
Lead
Us

the table
Has always
Been
Set
For
Two
When
It should
Be
Set
For
Three

Allowing
a 2 party
rule
has caused

monopoly 
to our 
country's 
morality 
leaving
Us to
Be consumed
By
The 1%
Tyranny

True that! Its a real issue, in most democracies... Not sure an easy fix though. Don`t think anyone does... Nice poem Greg, got me thinking.
