An open letter for open wounds.
A sort of follow up to Justice for none
Or it kind of stands on its own.
A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers that be
To a god, a king, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers…
Can’t everybody see?
//
Today is different, and
tomorrow the same
It’s hard to take the world
the way that it came
Too many rapids
keep us sweeping along
Too many captains
keep on steering us wrong
It’s hard to take the heat
It’s hard to lay blame
To fight the fire
while we’re feeding the flames
Excerpted from
Rush “Second Nature”
Hate to complain without offering up a solution. Here is my open letter to Kim from the big D.
Dear Kim,
I had a big realization this morning, huge. So much so, this won’t fit on a tweet.
People like it when I say things that are unconventional, and noticed it has kind of gone to my big head.
Some people voted for me because I alleged myself to be a Christian. It dawned on me that nothing I am doing is what Jesus would do.
I thought I could use your country as a distraction from my Russian involvement and it got out of hand, sorry.
Long story short, I understand your people are hungry, and you have all been hurting for a long time.
Should you feel the need to attack us, due to all my macho asshole bullying rhetoric I understand. However, we will not counter attack with either fire or fury.
(Whew, what was I thinking? ) As we will be to busy taking care of our people who it will have been my fault I put in jeopardy.
Quite frankly, all of the deplorable degradation brought down upon different people at different times for different reasons in different severities indifferent despairities, nuclear holocaust might be the easiest wound we have to heal.
My view from my ivory tower skewed my perspective, but as I venture out to feed my ego. I realized, even my people do not want nuclear war.
Also, the whole planet is in need. The south east of my country is soaked, the west coast is on fire, a big portion of our neighbors country was shook and crumbled.
Back to you, traveling around have discovered our country has this thing called food warehouses. So I popped into a few, not sure it is a good idea, that we have such gluttonous access.
So as a gesture of good will and a plea for forgiveness, starting immediately we will send half from each store. Distributed to your country and all others that need more food than we do.
The other thing I’ve noticed is that America truly is a melting pot, every body from every where is here. For the most part getting along like they should. But our pot cracking, and our goose is getting cooked.
As I looked for the first time on a globe to see where you are at, noticed that if you take away all the painted country and state identifiers, we are all on the same sphere together and there are no unnatural borders.
Just to show you how quickly I’m evolving, am not only not going to build a wall between this country and Mexico. I am going to have it dismantled so we can use it to reinforce their buildings from more earthquakes.
Also recycle it into pipes so when excessive water lands on the east coast we can pump it to the west coast to put out the fires.
One of the many things I promised on the campaign trail was to make America great again. First will be to stop declaring it is great. Most people who live here, have never left here, to make an enlightened evaluation.
So, I’m figuring, albeit in the most selfish way, that if we dismantle all of our weapons and feed, clothe and educate everyone on this blue green life raft we are all surviving on we will recognize our true nature of being all as one.
No one will hate anyone anymore and everybody will be able to travel freely everywhere to experience undiscovered realities, dimensions, feelings and experiences never even fathomed.
In closing, I leave you with what we might consider being our global flagless anthem.
Sincerely and humbly,
Donald
“Imagine”
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
– John Lennon
