A New Day

Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss,
well, not the boss we just got rid of,
the one before.

400,000 dead

400,000 Americans died. If we had a real president it would have been less.

Speak Spake Spoke

Sean served up a spicy plate,
Sarah's dish was bitter,
Stephanie arrived to the party late,
Kayleigh's fork was bigger.

Study notes:
In the reading above, what does the fork represent?

Sleeping with the enemy

My pillow gives me dreams,
of walls that separate the browns from me,
that lock the the future into cages,
that oppress the pen and mute the pages,
and visions of boots on necks of the poor,
burn my pillow - suffer its dreams no more.

Treason Little

The sky is falling

the president is calling

don't believe the truth

don't believe your eyes

I won the election - the sky is falling he cries

Oh woe is me

oh woe is you

Don't believe the truth

be strong be tough stand proud stand by

the sky is falling - you can't believe your eyes!

take it back

wrong is right

when it's backed by the red blue and WHITE

don't fear a line of blue,

like the sea of red it will part for you

and into the house you can fly

it's only insurrection if you lose

and I never lose, he cries.

 

350,000 Dead

 Let that sink in.

And think about this:

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

-- Ulysses S. Grant
