These Yet To Be United States - Poem by Maya Angelou

Tremors of your network
Cause kings to disappear.
Your open mouth in anger
Makes nations bow in fear.

Your bombs can change the seasons,
Obliterate the spring.
What more do you long for?
Why are you suffering?

You control the human lives 
In Rome and Timbuktu.
Lonely nomads wandering 
Owe Telstar to you.

Seas shift at your bidding,
Your mushrooms fill they sky.
Why are you unhappy?
Why do your children cry?

They kneel alone in terror
With dread in every glance.
Their nights ['rights'? - Schrift nicht lesbar] are threatened daily
by a grim inheritance.

You dwell in whitened castles
With deep and and poisoned moats
And cannot hear the curses 
Which fill your children's throats.

Maya Angelou
