Happy 4th - god bless amerika!

god bless amerika June/July 2007

part 1 – preamble
The sound of the drum
Beating
Like a tribal beat in the jungle
It says,
“Follow us people
listen to us
we’re your government
we’ll protect you
just follow our simple rules.”

part 2 – ravings
But the people shouldn’t follow the government
The government should follow the people.
It’s a struggle
To love the country – which is wonderful
And the people – who are great
But despise the government
Which has been overrun by swarms of incompetents
like that big red shinny thing
In the Steve McQueen movie “The Blob”

part 3 – the new pledge
I pledge allegiance to the flag
- not any political parties
of the United States
- not the Red states, or Blue states, or Purple states;
or any other colors assigned to us by an arbitrary media
of the United States of amerika
and to the republic
- the good working people of amerika
for which it stands
one nation –
which together stands better and stronger and more decent than the
political hacks we have voted to represent us and more understanding of each other than the political talking heads, who spend endless hours weaving phrases and labels that would have you believe people with honest differences actually – and should – hate each other
one nation Under God
- in the many – and every - forms she takes
indivisible
with liberty
- for us all to enjoy – like a mustang convertible on a summer day with the top down and Pet Sounds blasting
and justice
- from the tormented and wrongly persecuted to those who spill the innocent blood of our people and others in the name if oil, power and their lies to gain both
for all –
- not inherited by a few
- not horded by the rich and powerful
- not to be belittled by the politicians who benefit in us being filed away in negative stereotypes
- not to be toyed with – like the media who are unquestioning about a criminal and deceptive act of war just because they got a tank ride out of the deal… a FUKEN TANK RIDE!
- not to be shunned like those who can’t afford to buy into the intentionally impossible to maneuver and exploitive maze called the amerikan health care system
- not to be taken away – like so much we have loved has been taken away

for all -

part 4 – preamble revisited
The sound of the drum
Beating
Like a tribal beat in the jungle
It says follow us people
Listen to us
Do as we say
And we will do whatever we want
Until we the people
Say
NO!
