Accountability or Far Back: America.

"Accountability" or
Far Back: America.

Amnesty!

            From what?

In a nation of immigrants—

            All immigrants

Far back enough.

Amnesty!

            For what?

Decriminalizing hope—

            Affirming hope

Far back enough.

Amnesty!

            For whom?

From native prejudice—

            Prejudiced natives

Far back enough.

Amnesty!

            Why, Where?

In Free America—

            Free America!

Far back, enough.

Amnesty!

            How? How!

By any means—

            Any damned means!

Far, back enough.

What is: America now.

What is right?

            What is fair?

Constitutional?

            Expedient?

Soulless?!

            Ideological?

What is left?

            What is line?

Democratic?

            Pragmatic?

Soulless?!

            Autocratic!

When must this,

            When will this,

When can this,

            When, how, this,

When, if not this?

            When, how, America?

What is now?

            What is America?

What is posture?

            What is political?

What is rhetoric?

            What is true border?

What is Right?

            What is Left?

Richer and broader:

            Arms wide opened,

Slapping! Embracing!

What is America now?

           

Far back: Enough.
