Deluded Nation

From the moment they first stepped foot on these grounds, they stole the liberties, tears, and identities of others. When wanting what was best for their families, they tore families apart. Yet, they sailed mountainous waves from their motherland to advocate more liberty among civilians for the greater good — to create peace — back when it all began. They drained us down to the last penny and drop of sweat they could get from us, but they could have empathized with all of us. They should have empathized with all of us. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

They dare to claim this their land. The mountains, forests, fields, and prairies which they stole and used to begin their new lives and fight for liberty actually belonged to people — native people who grew with the wildlife and pastures which they vowed to to respect and protect — people who were murdered, trapped, erased, and forgotten in the name of liberty. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

While preaching the word of a loving, accepting god, whose path all must follow, and the birth-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, they stole the pasts and futures of human beings, stripped them of any right, dignity, or worth they had along with their culture and native languages. But they claim us to be savages. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

The people they suppressed and confined into acres, borders, or chains were used to construct the great land they eventually became so proud to claim, yet now they ostracize the very roots of this terrain that built the very floors they walk on and claim them to be poisonous, dangerous, freeloading thieves who destruct the very essence of their oh, so glorious country. They’re calling us thieves. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

While watching all their glory being built from their greed and commands right under their noses, under their noses: their homes, their industries, their steel, their railroads, their factories — all filled up their greedy bank accounts. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

Now they say their initial motives set up the attitude of acceptance towards outsiders, people just like them, yet they dare to ridicule and asperse us as if we are the untrustworthy enemy. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

They infrastructurally and industrially benefitted from our willingness to arduously work in dangerous conditions for better lives. Then, they set up regulations that supposedly protected and benefitted us, but here we are between the wall and the sword, with no health care and a psychotic man in every building who has the right to own and carry killing machines. It’s funny. They don’t see it.

People are dying. Countless cries, angry voices, enraged statuses, and negative reviews displayed for the world to see, yet they swear the majority was on board. But they’re cashing checks from the big entities that hold true significance to them and confusing us by publicly giving false information to biased broadcasting companies. Aren’t they supposed to represent us? It’s funny. They don’t see it.

Demographically-tailored products, flavors, ads, and opinions added to the mix to swamp us with more ignorance, and they’re cashing in on it. Though we are their priority, greed consumes them to take advantage of those who are inferior. Everybody complains, but hardly anyone acts where it counts. We criticize each other over the major elections, but never point out who voted for the local representatives, the senators and reps. But that’s because we’re too busy on our phones “voicing” our opinions after they matter. After the damage. We’re too busy being degenerates to sit down and try to actually listen and notice before they place ill-equipped people in powerful positions so that something can actually be done. It’s funny they see it. We don’t.
