I love my country. I love America. I feel blessed to be a citizen of the United States.
I am inspired when I hear someone singing "God Bless America" or the "Star Spangled Banner".

However, I consider myself to be a paranoid patriot and I am very critical of the legacy
of oppression that poisons this old land. So I say God bless America but God damn Amerikkka.
And below you will find the curse that I level against Old Amerikkka.

Please understand that I simultaneously have a blessing in mind for what Chuck D of Public
Enemy calls "New America" but this is for "Old Amerikkka".

God Damn Amerikkka

God damn Amerikkka
Home of the brave it's getting scarier
Guns and blades so many carriers
Land mines grenades blew up the messenger
Pit full of snakes don't scare the warrior
No fear of AIDS or malaria
But because of delays and other barriers
God damn Amerikkka

God damn Amerikkka
Raise a little hell they get scared of you
No simple spell no Stratavarious
Devil plays it well but he ain't there for us
Prison bars swell electric chair for you
Fear of death's smell will take care of you
Make you keep to yourself and don't you dare to
Whole truth tell or they'll bury you
They'll steal from your well something terrible
God damn Amerikkka

God damn Amerikkka
Don't raise your fist without a lawyer there
Still can't resist beautiful Gloria
But I can't desist it's getting gorrier
They'll take the watch off your wrist they'll take your camera
They'll make you twist till you don't care no more
Call me a terrorist what's all the terror for?
God damn Amerikkka

B'Shalom,

Avniel
