I saw the the love state of my nation laid waste,
how I mourned the freedom
the surrender to fascism
once again
as if it were the forties
as if it were the fifties
as if it were the eighteen-fifties
as if it were any period white-washed
in American history books
to make the normals of our nation look like the good guys
when just as often, we've been bullies.
