YANKEE ROLE MODELING....

Poem Commentary

Whose side are you really on? Enjoy

YANKEE ROLE MODELING....

Winners are often mis-users

Identified by a cap signifying

A home teams’ residence and logo

Motto defining the conquerors aligning

Subliming the sponsored promotion

In conviction of expected domination

Over and Over repeating history

Or reruns of commercialism hyped

Innuendos of the need to be first

Achieved at all costs in investing

Bought not necessarily from contest

Moreover controlling the sport of besting

As chattel are fattened for marketing

Lifting the downtrodden falsely or unfairly

Paraphernalia disseminating regalia

But really representing oppression

Suppressing the real history of culture

Rocking a Yankee cap in vogue

Accepting for passé past deeds dastardly

Like over-running native Indians home base

Not just referring to stealing a base

But straight up cheating the whole race

Railroading both native and latin leagues

Controlling migrations as patrons pay a fee

Professing Manifest Destiny as the only rule

Adhering to by any means necessary in acquiring

All for the sake of an empire built from stolen states

So next time when rocking a cap befitting….remember…

Who and What You Are Really Representing!!!

Ha ha You pays your money, you tips your hat. You make perfect sense, ST, but these days, all roads lead to the bottom line. But what do I know, I'm a Met fan : D

Ha ha you'll notice I didn't make any comment about the suspicious position in which we DJ find in the photo you chose to illustrate your fine piece X D

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
