shortened answers leave room for misinterpretation
and so the founding fathers do the grave roll
as a new dance sensation
all the great thinkers and leaders of the past do it
as we, the present, fail in their ambitions
and falter in the attempt to fulfill those dreams
dreams of freedom and peace
dreams of equality and self-reliance
or as I like to call them
delusions
lies told by drunk men bent on utopia
it’s easy to see
as they separate the church
and place us under god
creating instant dichotomy
in a nation without connection
I have no relation to the Southern Baptist Bigot
or the New York City *******
I barely relate to the culture of Salem Oregon
as it doesn’t relate to Portland or Eugene
all sitting in the Missoula flood plain
surrounded by tectonic plate boundaries and volcanoes
which, while creating fertile soil for wine grapes;
is not really conducive to building civilization
