Citizenship

I am afraid

of what I mean    by loyalty.

A down ass bitch.

I’d ride to the grave for love

but what of where I made country

of the place I live my possible death plot?

I wring my birth certificate of

what will bury me in due time.

what will come to the door

asking of my allegiance?

In times of war I lack metaphor

War can be defined as

everyone fucking up my money,

institutions & individuals alike

If I love you

I have threatened someone in your name.

I’m from America, blame my blood for the coming blood.

Blame my murder & assault on someone’s tame renaming

& still am I even from here?

Would I make myself violent in the name of a nation?

Yes.

I would kill for my mother.
