On Becoming Great Again

On Becoming Great Again…! Heeding not the message of the withering grass— Accepting not that pluck flowers do not bloom forever— Continuing your ‘Manifest Destiny’ to make ‘the lie agreed upon’ a vision to be held self-evident that all that was done…was done to make you great: Great in attempting to extinct the indigenous! Great in creating a strange institution! Now you are at it again! Heeding not the message of the withering grass and the drooping of pluck flowers— Unaware that I too, am to be Great Again! Ah, pity the fool! Your vengeance is not mine. I am a child of the God of the Oppressed: Forgiving but not forgetting—Great again!
