BRICKS FOR BARBED WIRE
by EARL REDMOND #508750
Obstinate immigrants travel here, visit me not among feverish crowds, dying youths left without life giving vaccine, a gift of water to save thee.
Bricks for Barbed wire I'll trade thee, your land of silver shall set me free. Send thy corpse rice field aplenty, concrete star torched intellect, purple hearts, honor flags wave on reception.
Pigeon English scribbled upon cardboard, AMERICAN....WE BE HERE FOREVER!!!
Interrogation come here why? Home of the free land of the brave And this entire nation, have you not sifted her history before your arrival?? He's rich
famous, observe his clothes can you not see haggard my soul? Bricks for barbed wire. Blessed finance, death camps, open memories rattle along side a child's grave. Noise from streets long since paved. Feet trampled blanc and white soldiers strike.
Predawn hours, a single dove shows his face. Sirens in the distance, a block from where I stand. Is it I they rush to?? Tunnel of holes thousands of lives how did I perish this time? Embrace me motha, for I'm in need. Fatha best me for I have sin. what I have seen cant be placed, what I run from cant be faced. Drag afro hair hollering kicking stones, as parades of Adams watch and Eves offer up fruits to die for.
Suffer these departures you'll come and I'll leave.
Bricks for Barbed Wire.
