from the series Raise Your Voice…
By PETER MOLENAAR
Dear MAGA, why do the oceans now rise against our shores… and whence, the destruction of hurricanes? Do you not honor the one crucified in retribution for his rebuke of the capitalists who occupied the temple? (Note: Matthew 21:12-13)
Dear MAGA, do we not all descend from communal peoples who, after foraging, returned to their villages to receive the honored sharing with those in need? (Note: The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, a book written by Friedrich Engels, can be purchased from May Day Books in the not-faraway land known as the Cedar-Riverside Neighborhood.)
Yet, you call us “garbage” and “losers” when, cast in time, our collective labor is the source of value in your commodities! Moreover, feel free to cast light upon the spirit of the original beholders of the land we share, and note: our national parks are not for sale!
Oh, dear MAGA, we now cry out: did you protest when your bombs killed over 160 schoolgirls in Minab, Iran? Must we make another revolution to make America good again?
PETER MOLENAAR advocates a broad united-front, even as he describes socialism as the future solution.
