RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TRUE HISTORY
True History (revisited)
Let’s replace true history
With a tale of American heroism
There isn’t any mystery
But a lot of phony mysticism
There were no civilized tribes
When the explorers crossed the sea
There never was a genocide
We let the natives be
The Africans were valued guests
They were never made to serve
Their lives were comforting and blessed
They got what they deserved
The internment of the Japanese
Was meant to keep them safe
Most of them were very pleased
They learned to know their place
Civil Rights came and went
But nothing really changed
All our rights were heaven sent
The protests are deranged
America is always right
We’ve never lost a war
We are the keepers of the light
We always lift the poor
(Trump orders a reorganization of
the Smithsonian to reflect his image
of American greatness.)
