i though it would be good if i read this poem to you out loud. so here is a video of me reading it out loud.the full poem is also written below the video so you can read along.
A Nation Is Only An Agreement
the
land we claim is not ours
not
the indian’s
not
frozen caveman land
it
does not belong to monkeys
or
lucky amoebas
once
the ancient ideas
of
Constitution
walked
unmolested
huge
in naked frames of sapphire and jade
they
knew even in the safety of their centuries
that
someone would eventually break
the oath
they
could not stop the grinding of their bodies
after
the war they hung as symbols
pretty
gems on long gold chains
ornamenting
common
human
chests
I like it. Did you write this recently?
