Viva America
I saw that Red River
Run down and out
From my cabin painted White
Under that big Blue
Blanket of sky.
The Heart of America.
He stands so proud,
With his perfect Blue eyes.
Able-bodied, clear-minded.
Ready, ready, ready!
He’s a 1 in 3,000 year man.
The Übermensch, ready to free
The world from their own undoing!
The filth of the world to be freed!
He has the reins,
Let’s see where he takes us…
He ran down the arteries:
Suburban USA.
From building to building
To outlet mall to gated community,
You’d hear him say,
“Negroes, Gays, Jews,
Kill them all!”
Not long after,
People followed him.
The ones that didn’t,
Were the ones he listed.
He moved to the lungs:
The Big City, USA,
With its tent towns and subsidized housing,
And he let his words be heard,
“The weak and meek on my soil,
Remove yourselves from God’s land!”
And some took out knives
And slit their own wrists in fear.
The ones remaining joined him,
In hopes of a greater tomorrow.
He walked to the Capitol
And burned each tree
And stabbed each animal
And raped every woman
And demeaned men for
Their penis size.
He poured oil into the streams
And ruined our relations with
China, India, Russia, Iran,
The Koreas, Japan,
And all our White allies.
Meanwhile, he brought our jobs
Back from the penny-pinchers:
The Southern Hemisphere,
And he took it from those
Scum-suckers and gave it
To good, regular White American workers.
He privatized the nation, and gave us all incentive again,
And saved us from our own undoing and laziness.
His plans are numerous and wise.
He’s cooking something up: a new world.
If you don’t get it, then you won’t be in it.
He walked into D.C.,
The Military is waiting…
Cities are struck with plague,
Dead animals line roads and railways,
The sissies on the news shut up,
And we’re all so sick and tired.
The Military lets him pass
To a podium surrounded by flags.
The flagpoles reach high to the sky.
Red, White, and Blue.
He reaches the podium.
No need to be sworn in,
He won by a landslide.
All he had for the crowd was two words,
“Viva America!”
The crowd cheered,
Viva America, indeed.
