from the series Raise Your Voice…
By PETER MOLENAAR
At the corner of Lyndale Ave. and 31st St. there is a place called Redeemer Rehabilitation. Upon passing their examination, the facility saw fit to discharge me subsequent to my July 4th stroke event. As for the afterlife… let it be said, I never committed any great sins, except for my failure to adequately honor my mother and father.
But, MAGA-MAGA, why do the oceans now rise against us all? Whence the destruction of hurricanes? Were the ancient ones not free to respond to Nature’s stimuli? Do we not all descend from ‘primitive communalists’ who, after foraging, returned to the village to receive the honor of sharing? But now, MAGA-MAGA, we suffer your tariffs in order to fund a ballroom for billionaires!
Was Jesus not a communalist who sought to restore the human personality? MAGA-MAGA, let us begin again… by returning the Black Hills to their rightful owners.
PETER MOLENAAR advocates a broad united-front, even as he describes socialism as the future solution.
