I no longer know what matters to such
American
people. Although if I follow their leader,
money
seems to be an answer. I read about the sans-gun
service of once-US Poet Laureate Frost.
Does freedom
fighting of that sort count? Or is it only
the power
of military and business that is worthy of
praise? ‘God
bless America’ sounds hollow when your god
is only invoked to defend those Americans
wielding wealthy, masculine, white
Christian power.
You threaten to sue with check-books of
money,
declaring that your rights demand denied
freedom
for the Other—and if that fails, you have
your gun.
You angrily yell: ‘Keep your hands off our
guns,
and keep your political correctness off our
God!’
You claim this government is killing religious
freedom.
But Christian liberty is not religious
liberty; America’s
separation of Church and State proven a
lie. Money
will now be our ruler—the divine right to
power.
The rally ‘Vote for Life!’ becomes ‘Vote
for Power!’,
as the NRA threatens, ‘Vote to Keep Your
Guns!’
Once again we are reminded of the money
chiselled for worship of a lifeless,
foreign god.
This is the god for which platforms of ‘Americans
First’ are throwing aware their coveted
freedom.
Your ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ pursuit of freedom
is revealed to be a desperate grab for
power.
You are willing to distort the elusive
‘American
Dream’; replacing and reifying it with
rights to guns,
rights to give lip-service to only the
Christian god,
and rights to the pursuit of money, money,
money.
You say intelligence is success, measured
by money.
You claim that to maintain our fought-for
freedom
requires labelling and barring those who
worship Allah.
You have compromised Light in order to
possess power.
Driven by fear of Other, you cradle your
precious guns.
Is it only You who gets to define what is
Great America?
Lesson one: If I make money it will bring
me power.
Lesson two: Freedom is defended by wielding
a gun.
My plea: Dear God, I don’t want to be this
American.
