*Eagle on my Shoulder photo by me Let’s play a game of opposites
Where we change
The meaning and usage
Arbitrarily
Of words,
People like nerds
Proclaim
New use of words
To confuse your brain
Mainly.
Let’s call America, “National”
And just declare, You‘re no longer U.S.
Why?
It seems some obscure person
Some recluse Alaskan German dudis
Has declared
We’re no longer us.
Really?
“Why for years
We’ve been fooled,”
she said,
“That we are dead
Declared quite arbitrarily so
At our birth
Nigh some century or so ago.”
“And to be you again,
Raised from the dead,
You must
Entangle yourself
With the very people who frauded you
Blindly at birth?”
Sounds a bit like circuitous
Jargon and controlling paperwork -
Tomfoolery to me.
So, I asked God the other day
If in fact all this was true?
He said quite sternly
Tolling the bell firmly,
“NO! No one owns you
Child of Mine!
You see,
It’s an abhorrent cult,
And I’ve sent them all,
All straight to hell,
All, every last one,
All, all in a satanic line.
“There, they all,
The fools,
Can call
Whatever they want, true,
But their words turn to pitiful pleas
Now that they’ve been given
Their just do.
“So weary not, not a bit,
My weary child,
For the poor damned souls had their chance,
And the fools to hell now be
For eternity,
And, what galls, them most you see,
Is -
“Is they now see
You have always been you,
No need to change
You’re not lost at sea
It’s mere trickery.
You‘ve been you
Faithfully you,
Forever you with Me,
In my chosen Nation,
America,
Free 🇺🇸
