Amerikkka.090811.2

Oh, yes, you want your America back.
That’s what you shriek out at some of the town hall meetings.
You know it’s not about the health care issue.
You want your Amerikkka back.
You know you don’t want your America black,
or brown, or yellow, or red.
You want your Amerikkka that you loved when
the puppetmaster and the malicious frat-boy were running it.
You want the Amerikkka that brought the Africans here to work on the plantations.
You wanted the lands of the Red Man, so you engaged in genocide,
but that was OK, because this was Amerikkka.
Then you wanted to build railroads, so you wanted the Asians to do that for
Your Amerikkka.
You have always wanted your fruits and vegetables, so the Brown people
supplied that while Wink,Wink, they crossed the border illegally.
Oh, yes, you want your Amerikkka back.
All of those refugees from Southeast Asia whom we condescended to take in,
because we are such a compassionate people –
they are here, too.
Oh, by the way, we killed three million of the Vietnamese and told the Silent Majority
that the fifty thousand plus Americans who died there were fighting for our freedom.
Robert McNamara didn’t even believe that,
yet he kept quiet until the corpse of his conscience finally uttered it.
Oh, yes, you want the twisted Amerikkka
that was in control of
the yearning masses longing to be free.
Martin Luther King was the worst uppity minority who symbolized the turning tide.
The tide will continue to turn with or without martyrs and symbols.
This is what has you scared and angry.
You want your Amerikkka back and you are not going to get it back.
We want the real America and we will create it with or without you.
You can’t have your perverted version of Amerikkka back.
We the People are still dreaming the American Dream.
