we have all been orphanedA
to poverty inB
responsorial psalmC
of hungerD
arching through misty shelvesE
-
orphaned by circumstances that voted us as oneF
foreign agencies recruit us into war gamesG
armies to death like SpartacusH
manufacturers of weapons that kill usH
chemicals on drones make us sickI
our faces choking from themJ
-
will make a good dancer from the scratchingK
from the itching drums played by orphans like meL
in a music played superbly by world known powers yesM
-
a genre in a class of its own GL
far from Gen ZL
dictates the pace of these dancesN
distancesN
these warsO
-
I fly homeP
another macabre at playQ
east to west north to southR
orphans I see through and throughS
'cause no one could stand up and fight for usH
against looters we voted into powerD
against military we taxed ourselves to payQ
to kill usH
-
what do we do whenT
government plays dumbU
as we form flocks at home like in orphanagesV
sitting at homeP
cryingK
