A constitutional appreciation

A  constitutional appreciation 
 
I am a slave of a slave
A historical genetically
Enhanced compromise
Of the constitution .
This ? is said to be, the land of the free
All will be equal
Every man  no less , even if
His blood has stained, that old hanging tree.

Appropriations
With regulations
Silently , added segregation
The forty acres , and a mule
Or the reservation .
This constitution always, enhanced
By a separate , rule

The elected administration
A circle of the self rightist  , their congregation
Gave birth  to demarcation , a justified decontamination
With forty acres and a mule
A  constitutional appreciation

Well son, you did it!

A very compelling write with historical context. I like you style on this and also the message conferred. Very well done! You have grown tremendously since coming here. Very proud of your writing and grasp of subject matter. Respectfully, Rett: "When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half." Gracie Allen

To all you guys Dad , Kenneth , Kaligantsaros . It is so crazy how the love of a comment can give a sense of purpose . So now that I have the floor [ thank you thank you] Big smile guys. I want to push my poems, words ,rhymes , the contents of a thought simplified, but thought provoking . So I am still in a cocoon still learning. But to day I kicked the walls of my cocoon.To break free and fly LOV2U ALL PRESS
