If Ever I Had a Country : Lvi and Lvii
IF ever I had a country : LVI - LVII
LVI
IF ever I had a Stateless country
And if ever I were a Stateless Person citizen patriot ready to lay my life down for the statelessness of my country
I'd ask myself first who rules in this Country without a State to make it a country
Whether this Stateless State is in a State without a country and/or without membership in the international community
Or a country without legitimate citizens to elect those who represent the State with or without democracy
Or whether the One-Party State is better for the Stateless Person citizen than the divided-state of the system of the non-Nicomachean Two-Party dog-eat-dog bi-cameral idiocy
That is, if ever I were a Stateless Person citizen with Stateless Nationality in my country
And even if I never ever had no citizenship in no Stateless country
LVII
IF ever I had a Stateless country
And if ever I were a Stateless Person citizen patriot upholding with my life the Statelessness of my country
Would I exist in a state of Statelessness along with other Stateless Persons in a State without a country
In a State without a State University to award certificates of statelessnesses as a statutory degree
A State without the usual ecstatic state of political inadequacies iniquities and other abnormal psychological incompatibility
In other words a State over which all normal countries would be eager to wage heroic war in order to exercise their authority
That is, if ever I were a Stateless Person citizen patriot upholding with my life the Statelessness of my country
And even if I never ever had to call my own no Stateless country
