“This land is your land, this land is my land from California to the New York Islands.”
When did we lose this land?
When did tourist become synonymous with terrorist?
Wand my mother and her 5 lbs. stainless steel replacement knee.
Pat her down and feel her mastectomy.
Make us remove our shoes, our belts, our watches, and our jewelry.
Try to remove our dignity.
All the while, the real threat lies not in the skies but in the seas and under the streets.
Worry about the tankers spilling oil in the Gulf Stream.
Worry about the explosions of out of date and dangerous gas mains.
It’s only our land, our future, our lives.
