RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS
Buffalo Killer
In the latter half of the 19th century
They killed buffalo to ensure that
The wandering tribes of the Great Plains –
The Lakota the Cheyenne the Blackfoot –
Would not survive
In the early 21st century
A racist killer travels to Buffalo
To kill people with dark complexions
To make room for white folk
Who would have guessed?
White people – who own more real estate
Than they could ever use –
Need more room
White people – who have more power
Than they could ever abuse –
Need more power
The buffalo killers were instruments of evil
The Buffalo killer is the same
Somehow somewhere
(Make America Great Again)
The killer got the message
That this was how you make
The world safe for white people
The most disturbing thing is:
He is not the only one
And they all have guns
