all attempts
at a negotiated
settlement
have failed
your
unwillingness
to surrender
your property
livelihood
and heritage
for another useless treaty
that provides some
fine wasteland
demonstrates
your
unrealistic
nature
further
your attempts to better
your own children
by limiting their exposure to
our abusive
distorted history
of
your
people
seems particularly
cruel to us
such resistance
on
your part
limits
our
progress
this is problem
is
totally
your fault
oh for the love of god
i need to get packing
i heard some folks
in washington
are gonna
repeal medical coverage
to help pay the bills
and then the 13th amendment
something about needing
cheap labor
so i need to get
my things in order
but where will i go
i can’t head for reservations
cause they’re checking
lineage if there’s a casino
and if there’s no casino
the 13th has
already been repealed
i could go to france
since i’m not a gypsy
i’d be okay in israel
since i only have one
or two arab friends
but on second thought
they have army draft
and i couldn’t shoot
anyone who looked like me
you know having
eyes, mouth, nose,etc.
i’m not japanese
so i could go china
but not germany
germany’s already said
diversity’s dead
england’s out
our rules came
from there first
maybe I could
just hitch a ride
on one of those
space shuttles
