in “letter to america”

(the nation september 23, 2002)

breyten breytenbach, a south african writer who spent years in prison for expressing his views on apartheid

says that plenty of people understand what america is about:

america is about rich white guys keeping themselves rich at the expense of whatever else

a lifestyle that is the cause of great damage and injustice to the world

it’s about the banality of evil, too

I mean come on! W is so . . . square

this same W whose band of thug bankers is currently feasting in the government larder

calls other bullies in the world (like the fundamentalist bullies in Iran) “the unelected few”

(/pause/)

let’s not forget W is natural allies with those bullies

who all would deny by law a woman’s sovereignty over her own body

(/sound of other shoe dropping/)

nice work, W what fine company you keep.
