My name is Uncle Sam,
i hate you,
i hate you because i can,
i will eliminate you.
I will come to your home,
i will rape your wife,
i will steal your land,
i will take your child's life.
You are not me,
so you must be wrong,
you wear different clothes,
you hair is too long.
You don't worship my god,
so i will beat you,
you have what i want,
so i will kill you.
I will not ask,
and i will feel no guilt,
when i destroy what you cherish,
and piss on your mother's wool quilt.
And when all is said,
and i am done,
there will be no more
red nomadic scum.
I hate you,
for one reason,
i hate you,
because you are there.
Author notes
This is a testament of our "loving" army's actions towards the Sioux and other Native Americans...and in case it's not obvious, I feel a great guilt for mistakes of the present and past.

pimpin write
Brandon wrote a new poem, so Leah came to read it. This is really really good. Just telling you that now. See I don't know why you don't write more often, cause you're such a great poet. Anyways. I feel bad for other people when the army get's involved cause they just beat up or kill and kill and kill. Until there are bloody streams and crimson pools. That just sucks. Anyways, this poem rocked, but you shouldn't feel guilty. It's not like you were there when it happened. So it's not your fault.
Peace and love,

Love the poem Brandon. Very true. I wonder why our military justifys there actions by saying they are trying to attain peace. The question I ask is, how can peace attained at the expense of lives be defined as peace. I dunno. Oh well great write. c-ya.

Amazing poem and it applys not just to the past but, sadly, fits in with the present as well
