To My Fellow Americans

  My Fellow Americans:

               I

I am here to help you see

That the way to rid ourselves

Of all our aches and evils

Is to do away with money;

More explicitly, that is to say,

                is to do away

With the idea of money

As an end in itself, as

The concept of interest-bearing money

                        leads to

                     inexorably,

And to see it as simply

The means to an end

That it is basically,

               and by right

                         ought

              to be;

                    the end

Of sharing our goods and services

With one another,

And giving of our best

              in the process

                                as

‘Spiritual beings having

A human experience,’

As it has been described.

‘It.’  This business

                   of life.

Now, to be severed

As if by a knife

From its false roots

To be replaced with

The real thing.

So, Come:

May we sing

Our way Home

              again,

         brethren

And sisters, in

        and of

     The Light

   and go no more out

                      without

                       a coat

Of armor, against the perils

           of outrageous

              fortunes

       that ring hollow

                  in

            the end.

                II

‘The American flag is an

Offensive weapon

Of nationalism, colonialism,

And imperialism,

        and people of color

        must band together

            to fight it.’

That is the message

That liberal professors

(To speak euphemistically

Of their allegiances)

                        impart

To their young charges

These dark days.

    (The darkest

     before dawn,

         that is.)

To whom I say:

In what other country

On the entire planet

Have you been given

        the opportunity

For such advancement

                    as in

               this one

The good ol’ U.S. of A.??

And if there has been a trashng

Of the environment, and peoples,

                         along

             that Way

By corporate plunderers, why

Throw out the baby

With the bathwater??

           Liberty

     with license???

I rest my case.

And to the whole

Human race

On its way to recognizing

Its true nature

             as spiritual

          beings having

    a human experience

       for purposes of

       Enlightenment.

                           Or

                    not

      as the individual

        case may be.

         In harmony

              with

          Universal

              Law.

Which we should hold in awe

               for

        its majesty.
