Power

Power likes to stare at its reflection—
Ugly as it may be,
It cannot help but claim greatness.
Power likes to lie and revise,
Saying that our story is shallow—
But it is deep waters that we wade.
Power covers the master’s sin,
While slaves bear their master’s kin.
Power says Jim Crow is gone,
And America has moved along.
Power wants to hurt our nation,
No physician to the patient.
Power says no problem here,
Yet you can’t make U.S. disappear.
