Purple Ribbon

Coupon; couldn't handle it? 

 Discounted  

The value of others 

Political campaigners 

 Imagining 

 Clipped off 

 Pieces of papers

 Self inflicted caper 

 Bystanders 

 Caught the vapors 

 Red & Blue 

 Was supposed to be

  Purple's savor? 

 Mixed 

 Together 

 Hand-i-caps 

 Napalm 

 Societal commonalities 

 Turned venomous cancer

 Danger! 

 When your go to 

 Is estranged from 

 Connectedness 

 Respite 

 Cannot climb up off the back

 Of a once battered woman 

 Stagnation

 Is your 

 Mobility 

 Prices higher

 Than your 

 Limitations can reach 

 Behold A Pale Horse 

 William Copper 

Tried 

 To teach 

 Cointelpro - Is all 

Some of 

My people know 

 Merely scratching the surface 

 Pawns 

 To a 

 Pauper

 Knights 

 For 

 Scavengers 

 Bishops 

 Towards 

 Corruption 

 Rooks 

 Believing they're 

 The castle

 No man's land

 Undesirable King 

Isn't equipped to battle

Underestimated
Queen
Dismantles

 Zebras
Run free
Without a saddle.
