The utter Shame of America
Opher Conexion November 6, 2024
Casting aside all morality they elected a convicted rapist criminal, sold their women, and put a racist misogynist into the Whitehouse, all for a few measly dollars.
That sums up America!
Shame
Shame
How can I not feel the shame
When I see what we have done –
Bigotry and injustice,
Concentration camps,
Ku Klux Klan,
Secret police,
Where cruelty is considered bliss?
How can I not feel the shame,
Women forced to wear the hijab,
Children brainwashed,
Black men shot for being black,
Animals ripped to pieces
Protestors coshed?
How can I not feel the shame,
Native American Indians,
Religious wars,
Gay pride
And Peterloo?
Bear baiting,
Dog fights,
Lynchings,
Lying political propaganda,
In a world run for the few?

Can you feel shame for a species? I don’t know. But I do.
I feel ashamed at our intolerance, our belligerence, our love of inflicting pain. I feel ashamed of our arrogance and bigotry. I feel ashamed at how violent and stupid we are.
Anyone who is different is persecuted. People are forced to conform. Religion is foisted on the innocent. Brainwashing is rampant.
It’s not about skin colour; we all do it. No race is immune.
There are flaws in our genes.
We love cruelty and pain and enjoy watching it, inflicting it and make an entertainment out of agony, fear and death.
In our tribal stupidity, our lust for power, our insatiable greed, we kill, maim and destroy.
We’re busy destroying our own future and creating misery.
No wonder I feel the shame.
I am human.
I really don’t want to be associated with my species.
We’re far too stupid and cruel.

Feel The Shame America
You’re still fighting the Civil War
Where the North is rich
And the South is poor.
Where the white thugs
Fly their Confederate flags
And lynched black men
Lie in body bags.
Armed militia prowl the street
Believe the earth is flat
Or you’ll feel their heat.
A mad concoction of
White supremacy
And the KKKs version
Of Christianity.
The madman tapped into that hate
Stirred it up with ‘Make America Great’.
Empowering the racist thugs
Offering walls
To uneducated mugs.
You let it happen –
You voted him in.
Sanctioning vile hatred
Is your greatest sin.
You toadied and
Kept quiet
As the fascism grew
When all the time
You really knew.
So where do we place the blame?
America, have you no shame?

First he was the spoilt brat, then the property tycoon, then TV star and finally President.
He hasn’t changed. Always the spoilt brat with his tantrums. Always the racist misogynist. The fascist speculator. The narcissistic sociopath.
But you were taken in. You voted for him.
You excused his crass behaviour, his surliness and tantrums. You excused his cheating, his mafia connections, his tax evasion and criminal activity. You excused his rudeness and arrogance. You excused the way he empowered the hate-filled.
You condoned his behaviour.
He was straight-talking. He connected with the working man.
You sucked up to the fascist chief.
You let him take over the Republican Party and install his family and associates.
You condoned him insulting allies and sucking up to despots.
You condoned his nepotism, cronyism and bulling.
You let him have the country and stood by while he lied, spread conspiracy and divided the nation.
You backed him.
Feel the shame America. You installed a fascist. You condoned a fascist and you stood by a fascist.
Feel the shame.
Vive Charlie Hebdo!! Vive La Liberte!!
Long live Justice, Freedom, Tolerance and Democracy.
Praise to those brave people who stand up for freedom of speech!
Shame on those bombing innocent people in mosques!
Shame on the racists ready to jump on the bandwagon and blame all Muslims, immigrants and foreigners!
Shame on those who use the fanatics as an excuse to brand the innocent!
Respect to all those killed by the lunatic Jihadists.
Condolences to the families and friends of those killed standing up for freedom.
Shame on those who promote the idea of blasphemy.
Shame on those rabid inhuman fools who barbarically killed the mentally ill man in Pakistan who thought he was the prophet!
Shame upon the copy-cat religious nut-cases who think it is alright to kill innocent people.
Shame upon all those who could possibly believe that walking callously up to an injured police officer and shooting him in the head could ever be justified by any god.
Freedom, tolerance, equality and democracy have to be fought for. We cannot allow the fanatics or racists to win!
You kill ignorance and fascism through education! Violence is never an answer!
