The Last American

 Who will be the last American?  Will the Police State Military drag him or her from the top of a car for speaking to a crowd about freedom?  Will the last American be shot, execution style and kicked in a hole full of murdered Americans?

When the last American is dead....the constitution will simply be an old document in a cold grave of history.  Will "America" just be the name of a world state? 

I see the old flag....stars and stripes  trampled in the mud of a book dump. Next to the flag is a half burned Gideons bible along with Dr. Seus's "Star Belly Sneeches."

There is no song called,"The Star Spangled Banner".....the recordings and sheet music have long been destroyed because it was not "worldly correct."

There are no elections....representatives are chosen by the World Council.  People have two choices...comply or die.

Freedom was traded for safety. Faith was traded for science.

People are very safe now......the sacrifices seem to be worth it to them.  They just need a pass to go from state to state.  No one is allowed outside after sundown without permission.

All children are healthy because defective children are immediately terminated.

Only the rich have personal transportation...the poor walk or ride bus trains.  If the poor become disabled...they have a choice of death or are allowed to live as bank organ donors for the rich.

The soul of America has been erased....the Constitution is considered a failed experiment and to be caught with a copy of the document...is fatal.  The 4th. of July will be just another day.

Who will the last American be? 

What race or religion will he or she be?

What state will the last American be from?

America can live in a million people or one person at a time....it can also die that way!

Tom

You've been peering through the looking glass tonight.I see what you see,the man standing on the car in my vision is named Mario Savio.I just wrote about him tonight.A great book to read is H.G.Wells Anticipations,or if you're up for it here is a short film(10:58) from 2007 called Land of The Free,your sentiments have even been showing up in art.

Would there even be archives? Movies, music that tell "what was?" I wouldn't think so.  To leave seeds behind could only invite thought, create dreams and ignite passion in those with a hunger for change. I ask my self "What Would Bobba Do?" Then I think 'have a beer'.  Oy, I have a hangover, myself today.. This is a good one, Tom! If the last one left is a virgin, I'm toast.

@ Lgali- Noooooo that would be un-american. (I hear tell that the Bush family had the original constitution shredded and used it to make toilet paper. This was spin doctored at the press conference to say that they are "into" recycling. The one on display at the National Archives is a fake.) ;)

I don't think it was the Bushes who stole papers from the National Archives . . . anyway

You are probably right. When the populace—I don't want to say citizenry—prefers the government teet to freedom, the American Experiment is over.
