Empty Garden

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

What happened here?

As the New York sunset disappeared?

Everything began to get very strange.  That’s what happened.  

Anthrax.  Patriot Act.  Deadly evil in Iraq!  Yellowcake shake and bake, Powell’s briefing is a fake.  Mushroom clouds, Evil Axis, what the fuck, let’s cut taxes!  Preemptive war, Judy’s a whore, photo op scenes and Diebold machines.  Alito, Katrina, Brownie and FEMA.  No jail for Scooter, a close call for Shooter.  Sex with pages, falling wages, attorney purges and Baghdad surges.  The Decider is Custer so his hacks filibuster.  FISA and spying while Reid keeps on lying.  The dollar is tanking, democracy’s fading, our soldiers are dying, and wingnuts keep hating. Huck and McCain, more wars in vain, Rudy and Romney and Rove are insane.  Obama keeps saying we have to unite, but after 8 years of treason, I think it’s time for a fight.    

What happened here?  The whole damn country’s an empty garden, that’s what happened here . . .  

Who lives here?

We do.

In what’s left of America . .

For two-hundred years,

We’ve been gardeners who cared a lot,

We’ve weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.

Over and over again.

But now it all looks strange.

It’s gory how one insect . . .

can damage so much grain.

So we’ve been knocking . . .

But no one answers.  

We’ve been knocking, every dark day.

We’ve been good citizens.  

We’ve been gardeners who cared a lot,

We weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.

But now we’re bankrupt, we’re crippled and we’re dazed . . .

So in this nationwide desert,

That used to be the Garden of America,

We pray for rain, and with every drop that falls,

We hear . . . we hear your name . . .

I’ll support you, Obama.  Inspire America.  Talk unity.  Get yourself elected.  But when you make it to the White House, once you have it fumigated so it’s fit for human habitation again, I’m going to need to see a lot of this from you:

I think you know who to point at.  They have the blood of a million people on their hands and billions of our dollars in their pockets, so they shouldn’t be too hard to spot.  CONSEQUENTLY, once you take that oath of office as President to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, I expect you to DO THAT.

You want unity, Obama?

So did South Africa.

That’s why they established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

America needs one.

Truth.

Justice.

THEN Reconciliation.

That’s the only road to unity in America, Obama.

Lead us down that road.

Say YES WE CAN to that.
