In Response to “Changing the World, One Word at a Time”
Welcome to America
home of the dependent and
the land of the cowardly
The faculty of Emory University offered
students “emergency counseling”
after “Trump 2016” was
found sprawled out on the sidewalk with
chalk, written by a brilliant troll
whose sole goal was to have fun.
Mission accomplished.
At campuses across the country,
students have been made aware of and protested “microaggressions”
or: “a subtle but offensive comment or action directed at a minority or other non dominant group that is often unintentional or unconsciously reinforces a stereotype”
at Occidental College, students have taken things to an extreme.
and have demanded that their college hires
“physicians of color at Emmons Wellness Center
to treat physical and emotional trauma associated with issues of identity.”
So that said “microaggressions”
like “God Bless You” can be monitored
and acted upon.
Welcome to America
the land of the politically correct
Those who know the truth
refrain
in fear of being politically incorrect.
like the black lives matter movement and
the Black Panthers are violent, ultra-racist radicals
like “Changing the World, One Word at a Time” is
an exceptionally cynical, hateful
poem
Welcome to America
the land of the free
and home of the brave
Where a man leaves
a $1000 tip to help a woman with several children struggling financially
and where police risk their lives every day to
Protect and serve. Not to be accused of murder and chided for doing their job.
Where people are supposed to be able to voice their opinions
and not be ridiculed and be made uncomfortable after doing so
the right to free speech is guaranteed to us by the Constitution and
by the bravery of selfishness of those in the military
Welcome to America
where James Monroe said that,“National honor is national property of the highest value.” And
where all lives matter
