Maka Ina

April is national poetry month.  I found this out after I had written this poem but now it is more fitting for me to post it, and it also makes me a little less self-conscious about whether people will like it or not.   I originally was not going to have rhymes in the poem, but I accidentally rhymed one line and liked it. So, I changed the rest of the poem to have rhymes in each line.  This is the first poem I've written in a very long time and my writing skills are at the very best amateur but hopefully someone will like it!......... The poem is about mankind pimping out Mother Earth... Enjoy!

Maka Ina

We grip our cane and wave it wildly competing for total reign

While we shine our snake skin boots after we stomp out all your roots

And we brush our fur coats and tilt our fedoras as a way to gloat

While we slap you around and throw you to the ground

Ever since our birth we have stripped you down and raped you of all your worth

And tagged you with a price and rolled you around like a set of dice

Pimping you out on every block has become purely cakewalk

Until one of us is dead we will make you bring home the bread

Until you are too old and weak, until you are too tainted to speak

We are far from chivalric, taking everything you own in hopes to flip you for another trick

See when it comes to prostitutes there will always be another one to pursuit

But we seem to overlook the fact there is only one Mother Earth to impact

And though she's the one who has bled, we will be the first to be dead
