mr. bush, i do not
trust
you.
i wonder at your
need for
secrecy.
i don’t know who
you’re working for,
but it’s not for
me.
i have no wish to
forfeit even a
sliver of my
freedom to your
authority.
i pledge my
allegiance to the
welcoming nation of
liberty;
not to a
cabal of un
disclosed ideologues
craving uninhibited
control.
i am afraid of
you.
afraid for
my civil
liberties;
afraid of your
swagger, your
righteousness, your
belligerence.
afraid of your
hormonal command
of earthly
fate.
there have never
been so many
enemies of our
country;
so many
individual human
beings who feel
threatened and
humiliated by our
incessant & unwarranted
plunderings into their
lives;
& by your terrible
example, they swear
to kill
us.
you’ve perfected our
want of prudence &
good faith.
if jefferson, lincoln or
wilson were
president, this would
not be
so––
but you’re the
boss
& the world’s in
trouble.
