who shot the goose down?

from so to speak by mim stoner

lyrics

constitute a poke where democracy spoke
where a bunch of white folk had some Stuff to attend to
the ruling elite were shuffling their feet
they were writing their sheet that they'd later amend
shrewdly down at the strand
pinpoint in hand
a poisonous dram
unfurled a nation

and I with my wings dirtied and dry
couldn't fly but I sing an anthemic cry
I cry

who birthed us in this state?
and who- who can we thank?
who had us and ran away?
who set the poison that we drank?
who set the poison that we drank?

the frame of a mind
penned down in the pines
and carnally signed
on sheets of white linen
said let freedom ring fingers poisonous drink
I said marry this thing cause you're already sinning

still who-who shot the goose down?
and who put it up there anyway?
who birthed us in this town?
who-who can we blame?
who-who can we blame?
