Tobacco Road
Bring that
dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again.
Build a town, be proud to show.
Give the name Tobacco Road.
Could you
blow up your home?
Once upon a time the phrase yelled at protesters was “My Country,
Right or Wrong” . Their response to that was “My Country, Right or Wrong. If it’s Right, Keep it Right. If it’s Wrong,
Make it Right.”
The cry now seems to be “My Country is Wrong. Let’s tear
it down and start all over again”. What
is left unsaid is what is wrong, and who gets to decide how it is run when it
starts over. The sense of dread, self-hate,
and despair about the state of our country seems to be the major commonality of
those perpetrating mass, including
school, shootings. Who do you think loves, is proud of, their county? The person
who tries to make it right? or the person who tries to tear it down?
