What is a country but borders drawn by hand and laws thought up by man?
Who is to say which human being is legal and which is illegal In a stolen land? Who is to say which human is entering the right way When the American way was to enter by slaughtering the original owners of the land? What makes you deserving of being American And Others undeserving? You did nothing to earn your Americanness. Being born on American land was not some sort of feat, It wasn’t an accomplishment: It was happenstance-- The happenstance being the location of your mother’s uterus on the day you arrived on planet earth. You are not more deserving of the American lifestyle Because of that happenstance, And you are no better than anyone else Because of the location of their mother's uterus. All of us are human, We all have the same human DNA. Our minds do not differ, Nor our hearts, Nor our souls. If there is a god, Then we are all its children And every piece of land is our home. And if there is any god that shows preferential treatment toward its children based on the land that that god placed their mother's uterus on the day of their arrival, Then fuck that god. And if that somehow offends you and your idea of god then you need to think hard about what and who it is you think your god is. What makes you believe that a god would, for some reason, have more affinity for a country invented by man 244 years ago upon some land that that god created over 4.5 billion years ago than it does for any other piece of land? I would bet every American dollar I have that your god does not give a shit about America, Nor any country, For what is a country to a god? What is a country to you? What is a country but borders drawn by hand and laws thought up by man? What is a country? |
