Goodbye America

Goodbye America

A Poem by John Anderson

Know this, we are everywhere and encompass everybody
Wherever there is a parent that has lost a child
Wherever there is a child who has lost a parent
Wherever there is a person that to this day

mourns the loss of their lover
We are Socialist, Capitalist, Anarchist, Moderates,

Communist and Nihilistic
We are Kantian, Utilitarian, Stoic, Hedonistic,

Aristotelians, and Existentialist
We are Atheist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim,

Jane, Mormon, and Agnostic
We have been around since the dawn of society

and will be there until your atomic holocaust comes
Our beliefs are simple, if we are to survive

then we must act accordingly to our own ethics and morals
At the top of these is the simple idea that

we don’t want your power hungry,

money grabbing, imperialistic ways.
We will not take part in your slaughter
This time, History is on our side, but we

will not bury you, we will simply

only have to let you bury yourselves.

This sounds like a cadence to me! Or a speech. Very ampped up! I really like the ending,
"will not bury you, we will simply
only have to let you bury yourselves."
