Aid

Written by C Hues

Back by populist demand
And backed by the saddest cries
7 percent own most of the land
Apartheid is no luck, it's lies
Stolen land is taken from thieves?
Trump, Musk, and Rubio perpetuate the peace
Yet zero land has been seized.
80 percent own the smallest fraction
And apartheid aimed to divide
As the poor get poorer with no action
Where's American aid for the darker side?
If Ebola strikes, Trump maintains silence
Great---as long as it only kills blacks.
White farmer slayings? No proof of that violence
Truth Social is truly no facts.
