Happy Fourth of July
What the hell does that mean
Ill tell you
I know the naysayer
Are saying
What
I am ashamed of being an American,
Blah, blah, blah
I am not
Sorry to bust your liberal bubble.........but
Oh sure
There is lots of evilness that America
Has done and still will do
Yea the big industrial complex, blah blah blah
But I still love America
sorry
I get sick when I listen to
That darling Europe Hippocrates
Blast us for so many things
Got allot of nerve
Yea the English
Were big colonizers?
And the French.................we never cowards
And delusional about race relations
Just look at f ranch's every summer riots
To see how good their race relations are
The Germans
God knows they have always been about human rights
Russian doesn't have gulags
The Portuguese never set forth on ships
To destroy claim and infect indigenous communities
With disease and slavery
Oh no not them
Africa is of course for African's
No Mugabe, or idi, or South Africa
Don’t get me started
Arabs god know how much they care for each other
Off with their heads
Shit
I love America
I just took a long stroll in my neighborhood
Where every cooks out just about every day anyway
But today
They are all raising their flags
Brazil, Portugal, Ecuador, Puerto Rico what ever
First of course
Along side a flag of America
I must ad
But as they reminisce about their homelands
Singing in those curious voices
Ok ill stop
Anyway
I ask them and myself silently
Yea
But you are here
Brazil
I know it’s beautiful
Its perfect there
Girl from ipanima,
The look of love
What ever.............
I also saw city of god
I rest my case
Of course it’s not really like that in Brazil
Of course
They don't kill Indians there
Or destroy the rain forest
Or kill street kids...........of course not
There is a reason every one is here
Money
Just money
People say
What the hell else is there?
You can’t eat palm trees can ya?
Right
Money means food and opportunities
Ok things are bad now......gas, food, what ever
But you could be in Iraq
Looking at heads on a stick
Walking gingerly to avoid a roadside bomb or two
Or in Africa
Laying in a hot dark hut swatting flies
Running from government soldiers
Because you voted for the wrong person
Or in china choosing which child will die
To keep up with government regulations
Or in Russia fighting for toilet paper
Brazil Brazil
My ass
They are here for a reason
Yea I love America
Ok so a few hundred black Americans
Were just floating around on logs in New Orleans
Not too long ago
So what
If you got a bunch of crazy white people
That have ten wives
Dress like the brides of Frankenstein
And get married at 12
So what
That’s a personal problem
But they still can do it all here
Liberals
Get on my nerves
Let me get off point here
Will some one please
Put a bullet in Ralph Nader
Please
He lost one election for us
And is starting up again
Black leaders have been silent
Farrakhan's will you take this silly white man out
please.....
Where are the black leaders?
Why are they letting this crone...? Nader
Talk about any thing black
What is going on?
Old jealous men
Snickering from the sideline
Jessie run Jessie run.............cowards.........
That are glad they are messing with obama
Jealous
So sorry
Ralph Nader
He should be put to sleep'
What a bitter silly old man he has become
If any thing is wrong with America
It’s that so many old men
Have not learned
That this is their time to fade into the past
and sit around a tree like uncle Ben
Dispensing wisdom
All the while drinking sweet tea
Anyway
America
God bless it
We got a black man running for president
So what if I call him a spirit animal
We got a black man running from something
Besides the cops
And dream or not
I am voting twice if I can
So I love America
I don’t hate war by the way
I hate wars that are fought
For the wrong reasons
And then fought badly at that
America
Has done things so badly lately
That I am rethinking
America
As a evil empire
We can’t even win a war any more
America
Is a teddy bear
I mean that
Obama
Back to him
Is doing what he must do
Moving to the center
No one believes that any one
With those impossible liberal
Ideals can be elected
America
Is not all dressed in black?
America is farm towns, and factory towns
And working people
Picking fruit
It’s more than the many liberal ideals that sound good on paper
But have messed things up so badly
Liberals my ass
And what the hell is wrong with the woman’s movement
Lets cut off our nose to spite our face
Hillary lost so vote for McCain
I am sorry but white woman
Are in a lot better position
That black men
So please shut the hell up
White woman should change tactics
For once
And do what woman should always do
Control their dumb white men
Who are running things and messing every thing up so badly
And moving the the center
Is about prayer
And war and reasonable alternatives
To unworkable campaign mantras
So lets..................
Bring back some prayer
Bring back the belts
Beat these kids little Asses
Put the fear of God in them
Make them believe in something again
And maybe we can save
More than every other generation
With obviously....... wrong-coddling solutions
Have you looked at these kids lately?
Anyway
Obama
I still don't believe he is a great orator
But white folks love any thing with bass in its voice
I grew up on king and Malcolm
It’s like listening to music now
How can Jennifer Lopez, Chris brown, Britney spears or little john
Compare to Celia Cruz, Donny Hathaway, Billie holiday or Joni Mitchell
I am sorry
But I am not looking for bass now
I am looking for some one who can fix this mess
And I am starting to think
Obama might just get it
Maya angelu
That’s not what I am looking for
I want a functional great mind
Like bill Clinton with out Monica
And I am starting to see
That he just might have one
Obama
I am most impressed
By his organization
And its brilliance at running a campaign
And his ability to change and adept
He knows that john McCain is still so close
And is brave enough to change the whole game
So you go boy
Court Middle America
They need some help too
We all knew he didn't have a message in the beginning
It was just a mantra for for change
We shall over come
Over the mountain top
The fire next time
What ever
Anyway
Now he is playing with the big boys
He will have to come to the middle
Did any one really think?
That we could
Now
Just walk out of Iraq
No matter if it was getting better or not
Which I don’t really think so
There is a way to leave any thing
Girlfriends, wives, jobs
Their is a way to do things
So that it doesn’t come back to bite you on the ass
At one point
I thought that Iraq would make a nice big parking lot
If the war had gone well
But now............it’s calming down
Because almost every one is dead
That’s why it’s getting quieter there
But lets get back to prayer
The people I know pray
I don’t see a thing wrong with prayer in schools
Do you know what I do in my class now?
Every other day
And this a true story
I go into the bathroom
And fill up a bottle of water
Return to my classroom
But first
I pray over that bottle
Then I start splashing the students
Telling them they need god
They need Jesus
I am only half joking when I do this
Because some times these kids
Are so off the hook?
Bad and uncontrollable
That nothing but the lord can calm them
And me down...............
And this is a true story
The staff looks on in horror
My boss flees
The kids laugh
But you know what
Every once in a while
One will look changed
After my blessing
These kids need prayer
What’s wrong what yall?
Anyway
Ill sit out front
And wait to see
If I can see any thing that reminds me of the America
I grew up in
Opine and aunt Bea
Bewitched
And Julia
Nope
But that ok too
Tonto, and the green hornet, and Charlie Chan
Ok I got the reference I need
Anyway
I love America
So if you don’t
Love it or leave it
Happy Fourth of July
And please don’t choke on your
Grilled chicken breast
Salad with low cal dressing
Tofu
And diet sodas
When you read this
What happened to potato?
Salad and pulled pork,
Oh well
Happy Fourth of July
