The Crucifixion of America
All we like sheep have gone astray confesses: our crucifixion from within.
While neither global nor American first, domestic monsters seek to agitate the still tyrant voice within each of us.
MAGA Republicans are increasing dissembling havoc, supporting a get out of jail free card for Trump lifetime criminal achievement award.
Using mesmerized minions craving to be the welcome mat for a self-proclaimed shooter of someone on Fifth Avenue while still guaranteeing his craven needs with, malice aforethought to chisel American Exceptionalism into his own image.
While America has never been perfectly aligned with its legacy from what we’ve put on parchment, proclaiming, and claiming, justice for all, since 6 January 2021, however, our House Divided has become a rallying cry for fund raising, mind-bending and vote getting (& losing) for one of our two major political parties.
As the climate we’ve changed, raises our weather temperatures, so too, we’re raising our anger, hate, gnashing of teeth and clinched fists, allowing Corporatism’s wolves to claw out America’s Heartland, and infiltrate the Bible Belt with their hoopla of la merde, spread lavishly throughout all of America, doping up the desperately frustrated into national suicide.
Thus, have we stepped into the danger zone of too close to recall, both America’s Promised Land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and our planet’s livable earth, water and air, now also, fired up to self-destruct.
Still, he who claims he is the chosen one strides dangerously close to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (aided and abetted by superficially good people (Joe Manchin & RFK Jr), and bad people (Kevin McCarthy & Ron DeSantis) on both sides, reflecting each other’s contest in, stupid is as stupid does.
Yet, only The Right side decries by example, that their very survival depends on America’s failure to deliver on the promises of our Constitution’s Bill of Rights, emancipating Gettysburg Address and arguably, most importantly our 14th Amendment.
Further, arguably: since August 1945, when American political/military/industrial complex harbingers killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people (most of whom were civilians) and then, in April 2004, monkey see money due from black gold: our Bush/Cheney Administration having invaded an Iraq, innocent only of 9/11 attacks on America,- illustrating made-in-the-USA resolve to use global campaign against terrorists impeding powerful American terrorists from gutting oil profits gluttony, (the true raison d’etre for, Axis of Evil snake oil) — repeatedly bombed Falluja causing…
- Countless Iraqi civilian deaths for profit
- Increase in Al Jazeer’s hate for all Americans
- Reincarnation of The Ugly American through American War Criminals, GW & Tricky Dick 2
- In the name of We the American People, the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, still operating as a remnant of the war on terror euphemism
- America’s Branding as practitioners of Waterboarding and, akin to WWII Axis Powers: torturing prisoners of war
Too often, America’s historical M. O. stigmatizes our current events, including the anti-wisdom choice to abandon, discard and replace experienced Americans with the latest fade, device or A.I. bull hockey from spewing bankrolled mouthpieces.
The ever-increasing weight of the Reactionary Conservative third of Americans is antithetical to our national evolution and individual progression because, refusing any accountability for the rape we’ve allowed, filthy rich politicians and their filthy rich corporate puppeteers to reap from our country and planet — transforms us into a momentarily mum McConnell and foul, feted fuming former figurehead Führer, instead of paralleling, Maya Angelou and Tom Hanks.
Although, centuries younger than most of the world, we are old enough to remember: a nation ignorant of its history is doomed to repeat the folly of placing individual faith in our youthful assumed invincibility.
When defined by those calculating quality time in Instagram followers, Facebook likes, or worse, how the neighborhood has changed, it’s wise to ponder, through the art of comedy, tragedy of loss, even the melodrama of traversing the comings and goings of inevitable emotional tides diminishing some relationships — until, ultimately through the tears and laughter of satire, we glean the wisdom of learning from farcical aging.
Then, living ever forward, we may outrun Father Time, for a pace.
In this our age of climate consequences, we need expect to be called upon individually, to emulate, Irena Sendler who was Warsaw’s Schindler for infants and children — and remember, James Waterman Wise, Jr: when “fascism comes, it will not be identified with any shirt, movement, nor with an insignia, but it will probably be wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution.”
An, Ah Ha Moment?…
A big liar, racially similar to those historically vulnerable to big lies infringing upon our commonality, perceived superiority: an American traitor, preying on our economic inequity, Affirmative Action jealousy, and cultural fears of being replaced by diversity.
Our Ballot, our choice.
