Alix Olson is an awsome poet that has a lot of energy to put out on the stage. But my class asignment was to write about politics and that's what i willl do. But only with a poetice twist. You see, in this poem she touches on many different issues. I only wish she wrote it now to talk about the upcoming election.
First issue, SUPER DUPER DUPER WALMART! Walmart is really taking over and though I go their sometimes, I would much rather go to a big Wegmans. Every grocery store has it's own "thing"! Wegmans-Healthy and reliable stuff. Walmart-cheap S@#*. Target-Class (very classy). Lori's-Vegitarian. Walmart insists on trying to cover all of these things. And it's kinda working.
Next issue- Race in America. This could take hours so let me make this quick. America is caught up in lies as old as the pyramids. There hasn't been a land of the free scence white settlers kicked the native americans further and further west until they had nothing left but dry earth and evaporated rivers. Their are millions more but again this will take hours of typing and i don't want to go there.
Issue three- Discrimination! America in my opinion, and correct me if I'nm wrong, if notorious for the discrimination against...well everyone. Not to say we are the only country but we sure are up there in the numbers. america is also imfamousfor it's extreme racism and hate against many different races and sexualities. Also, even gender, but that one i can't dump on America only.
I can go on and on but i think i covered most of the poem and the major issues. leave a request if you would like and i would be happy to continue. Enjoy the poem once more if you would like. :)
Oh, and by the way...YOU ARE ALL FIRED!!
