imprinting in a young child’s mind
\nhe\/she was the seed of something shameful.
\nlook what this child’s child birthed
\na nation Full of bastards, and shame
\ndoesn’t grow on ’em trees no mo’!<\/p>\n
the poor man’s dad’s mind
\nwas full of it too, the shame, ignited
\nwith the “charity” of WPA
\nwhen a man could sling a sledgehammer
\non a pile of rocks, all day, por que
\nUS citizens paid his pay check,
\nhe must, be made, to feel shame.<\/p>\n
still the children played
\nhide and seek and skip to ma lou
\nashes, ashes, all fall down<\/p>\n
some put on a tie and some put on sandals
\nfor some cheating became a way of life,
\nthru the eyes, thru the ears and thru the mouth –<\/p>\n
still there was dancing and singing
\nhidden somewhere deep
\nwithin the old man’s heart
\nwho nevertheless survived to retrieve
\nthe spirit that built the house
\nthat protected the children
\nthat helped return
\nthe magic of
\nthe Is of
\nthe newborn.<\/p>\n
