Spangled Star Banners

Oh say, did you notice a national predative anthem? Moving immediately urgently, without reflection of starlight sent or received, From waving flags predicting elite weapons fueled by complexly masculine emasculating militarized corporate industries of mutual defensive risks against international cooperative opportunities to coinvest In smoke-filled dawns of manifest destiny toward freedom for all self-righteous straight white males especially with a divine right as Earth's owners of enslaved exploited property, and home to the brave mercenaries of death and dying and divestment technologies. This anthem is based on a patriarchal powerful psychological and spiritual and natural and ecological theological error. Nowhere in our personal experience nor our economic or political history have we fought for freedom. We do fight against oppression but we flee, apart or together, toward freedom. Emigration is about exodus toward hope and freedom. Declaring wars, expressing and investing our collective fears and angers, These are about lands taken from reserved, and feminized and marginalized and enslaved laborers, forced immigrants into non-elite oppressions of nationalism patriarchalism elite v non-elite dualism, divides, absence of win/win communication, xenophobia monoculturing suppressions repressions Where polypathic left with right win/win prominence longs for polycultural confluence rather than cognitive/affective dissonance, flag waving predicting nationalistic predative anthems sung empty-heartedly and robotically with elitist left-brain opulence. If we sing it loud enough long enough we must be patriotically true, But, to whom?
