Notes About The Poem

America By the Square Foot

America By the Square Foot

We here in this part of the country, 
love God and stand for the flag. 
We here in this part of the country, 
honor the military, 
help widows and orphans...
and tar and feather, 
lowlife liars, 
posing as Politian's, 
for the betterment 
of erasing all things
worth believing in
or standing up for.

If you want to know my state, 
my county, my city or town, 
it is not far from where you live. 
Where you have taken up residence, 
behind walls that we paid for, 
and think we will be okay, 
with continuing to dish out cash to, 
as you put US(a) out into the streets, 
covered with the dung of humans. 
Creating new jobs in your neighborhood, 
is to apply for the cleanup squad. 
They should have called the Ghostbusters, 
and consumed the ectoplasm that has 
invaded ALL of the golden state, 
taking away its shine forever. 

Read your history, 
silly rich folk. 
It did not go well for the elite of Europe, 
as they fell to plague and disaster, 
at the hands of their own stupidity, 
now repeated...
embracing leprosy, 
typhus, 
hepatitis, 
measles,
and the new sickness, 
racism and hypocrisy rampant...
among the elite, 
currently in office.

Sock it to 'em, Ann! --- Those arrogant fool pols don't care about anything other than themselves. Not one of 'em does. Not one. At least we plain folks care about our neighborhoods (at minimum!). Keep the faith, Gershon

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Wonderful poem my friend.
