American History

Part 1Generation Lost

conceived colorless

born into white light

pure pride – white as snow

driven by history – into darkness

now I am blind

Part 2 D-S-W-C-S-of-a-B

how wide are red rivers?

that run through the fields

feed from the rivers-

grinding the wheels.

turning machine-

growing white feast.

produced from machinery-

considered a beast.

red rivers are wide-

growing wider each day.

feed from the blood-

the machine gave away.

Part 3 I am sorry

I’ve hurt your pride

stole you life

through multiple lies

gave you a casino

to make it all right

drink to stay safe

each day and each night.
