We Ain’t ‘The People’

1 "We the people of the United States,

1 - the rich, white, right elite,
they are the people,
the rest of us exist in fear,..
they refer to us as sheeple

Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the words "sheep" and "people." It is often used to denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human individuality. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by authority figures, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them. The term is generally used in a political or religious sense.

2 "in order to form a more perfect union",

2 - the rich, white, right elite’s concept,
of a ‘perfect unions’ been,
that God ordained our slavery
and to disbelieve a sin!

3 - "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,"

3 - the rich, right, elite white men,
agree slavery is just
and to in sure domestic tranquility
enslaved blacks were a must

4 "provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America"

4 - the rich, right, elite white men,
their working word is ‘our’
their goal is simply to enslave
their god is greed and power
