Wiggy White Guy Destiny

Or "Tight pants make me feel like dancing."

Actual wig from 18th century. Smells like "Manifest Destiny*."

Famous old white guy

wearin' a wig,

nice tight pants!

I dig it...

They scream "Independence!"

But it's clear you didn't haul

all...

your own bags over.

And though I'm sure your mother

is proud of all you've accomplished

I AM astonished

by how little dirt there is on your hands.

MAN!

I confess

how you manifested

This Land, Your Land

has me head-scratchin'.

I imagine,

'sjust meant to be...

I guess,

like you say...

It's your Destiny.

*Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent." - The History Channel

This 'dominion' was granted to itself BY itself and the "destined" spread resulted in mass genocide and the total desecration of the ways of life of those who were already here... but, apparently not DESTINED to be here, like the United States was.
