View from the Red Road
Bible Man's Creed
Where art thou “man”?
Domesticate the “animal” so you can hire a “man”
make that thing called “money”, so you can “rule the land.”
Concoct a “god”, then they’ll soon begin
To forget Mother Earth and start their downward spin.
From the Red Man’s “reservation; taking his gold – burning his coal.
To the Black Man’s “plantation”; making his clothes – working his toll.
To the Arab Man’s “occupation”; raking his home – churning his oil.
The “bible man’s” quest for other’s goods,
now comes to light for all to see.
But will they see? Can they see?
What do they see? Is “they” me?
