euphemistic truths

tribute to my fellow poet/friend bobby gonzalez

no, no, no!

the word is not defeat

the word is appease

please stop!

the phrase was never "enslave color people"

the code word is "acculturation"

can you please

not say "cultural diffusion"

repeat after me" cultivation"

kindly 

not say "the exploitation of the mother earth"

instead say" utilization of natural resources existing"

had enough?

there's more one can always learn

check it out, check it out

don't say "colonial proliferation"

say " colonial abomination"

under the guidance of charming sounds words

we seize what they have and cherish as our own

no matter how hard they strategize

according to their beliefs and customs

they won't be able to resist

their battles for self-detemination will forever be undermined 

by factorial history with our sensationalize euphemistic truths

so always remember,

don't call it "tribal termination"

call it" integration of indigenuous populations mainstreaming america"
