The Democrats Latest Ode to Progress?
A Bright New Day.
Kick in that marble headstone, for he wore a coat of grey.
He has no right to rest in peace upon our bright new day.
Dismantle that old statue; for he battled for the south.
And don’t you stand against us, either join or shut your mouth.
Knock down that bloody obelisk; you know he owned a slave;
and dump his wretched remnants deep inside an unmarked grave.
The one that wore a wheelchair, let us purge him from the earth,
His new deal was internment for the sin of Asian birth.
And every war memorial is next upon our list.
for the innocent collateral demands they not exist.
Blow up that Black Hills mountain, as we feel the rush no more;
for a rough riding monger killing Spaniards by the score.
The other peddled genocide against the native Sioux,
and bondage is the stain upon the loathsome other two.
Rip up the iron railway from our sea to shining sea.
The Chinaman was chattel, as he toiled slavishly.
Incinerate the White House, and then bury its remains;
for some of its construction was completed wearing chains.
There is no rest until our noble cause is finally through.
And that is when we burn the flag adorned with red and blue.
And now that we are at it, let us cross the briny sea,
and topple every monument where righteous disagree.
The Roman Colosseum, for the Christians that would bleed.
The Arc de Triomphe glorifies a tyrant’s bloody greed.
The Taj Mahal for celebrating executed kin.
The tower up in London for the torture held within.
We shall tear down Chichen Itza for its human sacrifice.
The Vatican for patriarchal view of paradise..
And all the German buildings that were built before the war.
And every Ancient fortress that still stands upon a shore.
The Pyramids an edifice to power over serf.
The China Wall a racist, xenophobic love of turf.
The world is full of evil, we shall right it with our force.
And everyone is guilty….. Well, except for us of course.
ANON
My great friend Jim Heck shared this with me and it had to be posted and make my day. I would have added one more verse.
We can all move back to Africa in the freedom we have found.
As there is nothing left to burn and loot on American ground.
