Yesteryear we were concerned about ourselves
The words Imperialism and Capitalism
Were created along with Manifest destiny
America was born from freedoms desired
Not freedomns accomplished
The amazing win of the American Reolutioin
Was due to the constant battles of Europe
And the unreadines of the British to defeat
On foreign soil those who had no place to go
Christopher columbus sail the ocean blue
In 1492 to the West Indies
He was attempting the Chinese seas
He got it wrong his theories
And yet navigation of those waters
Was not unknown
For centuries they had been transversing
The two oceans without issue
It simply was not reported to the modern historian
For iinstance King Ferdinand and Queen Issabella
Combonied thier lands into one Spain
Iberia had spent more than six hundred years
Under Islamic rule and the real dynasty
Not the false on after Muhammed died
Without a male sone but a grandson
Who wsa rejected by those who wantead power
Now the end of the Islamic rule had been accomplished
But along with thier withdrawal was the lost
Knowledge of what ws occuring on the other side
And while they were under siege
Egypt and others had gone ahead with thier
Own explorations without mentioning them
To those who had not idea of how to deal
With the one true evil, Sceince
Even today most mainstream conservatives
Frown on mathematics and science
Not understand that the knowledge they are missing
Is also what will save them in the end.
Faith alone cant work miracles
europe was embroiled in teh hundred years war
Europe had marched on while Iberia suffered
They had all kinds of problems
Such as religious heretics
And those who thought they should
Actually read the bible!
Burned at the stake!
Just as athe Muslims seemed to be consumed
With burning all the libraries and monasteries
Before they lost thier right to rule.
Curous as to what was in those places?
Knowledge of foreign lands
And perhaps royals who had been exiled.
The Puritans attepted to take over Parliament
And were forced out of England
Under orders of shoot to kill
The Tower must have been a castle
Comparead to what they eneded up residing
In America after they fought ot leave
All those bloody battles and then one more
The Huguenots werer under threat
A great massacre occured
Leaving nothing hidden as to
What was gong to occur next
Absolte rule of those who adhered
To the Catholic church
Which had taken over in the absence
Of any appearnace of European
Rulersip as Europe had been attachked
By several unexpected ones
Being Christian had its cross to bear
Unlike the Romans who were so popular
Really terrifed the inhabitants
They even summoned a volcano
To elimante the spa resort town
So were does this bring in Imperialsim
After America was establihes
By the founding fathers who were
Related to royalety in somoe fashion
But bore the brunt of seperation
Could afford after all those religiious
Heretics arrived and altered what the lands
Were meant to be used, quick income
For those whose coffers wre now empty
Running a well oiled kingdom takes
Oil in the form of coins and currency
The newer Americans thought they would expand
Abit towards the West
The first thirteen colonies were making them
Clausticphobic!
To say the least,
The first ting they did was to go after
The land around the Great Lakes
Called the Old West
We know it as Ohio and Michigan
Those homelss vetersans
Were sent packing for a chance
To inhabit the wilderness
Left behind by the French
Who are supposed to have fled
While the Indians were considereing
Revoking thier lease upon it
Indead, another crew of people
Who were just going to starve
To deatah if they were not taught
How to fish and hunt
Better to burn them out
And get rif of them
Before it was too late
King Philips wars
Had not been a happy
Time for theise people
And without t heir frineds
The French they had no one left
The irish monks had stoped coming
As the Nordic vikings to t hier land
Then a windfall fell insto the hands
Of poor Jefferson!
Napoleon had overtaken
France after it decided to rebel
Replacing the head of the royals
With riffraff from the locals
A newere generation of
State hood emerged
And Napoleon had taken that as well
A firece fighter and miilitary
Strategists from Italy
He made an offer no one could refuse
The entrie lands west of the Miissiippii
They had alread climbed up over the Applachians
And killed those indians
So what!
Lets take the West as well.
Although no one knew how vast it was
Merriwether and Lewis
Were hired to explore the
New purchase with the personal money
Of the Presidenat himself.
They were realtives of his wife
They were trustworthy and dependeable
He would go broke
Selling his vast library to congress
But they needed a Westward expansion
Now that their wre more immigranst
Arriving everyday
From Ireland and Germany
And Italy and Persia
They all wanted to be free
Manifest destiny was the cause
That the Civil war veterans
Began afer god had given up
On them through the killing
Of each others brothers and cousins
A releigous reveival occured
Thoughtou the America East
They wagon trained all the war to the
Far ocean in order to reestablish
Themselves without having fought
For the right to the land at all.
They had fought the Indians
In order to stay
And the British in order
Not to leave the land.
But the rest was either
Taken by force or
Bought from a false ruler
As Napoleon was later called
They shout his nephew in Mexico city
And the american did win the war
AFter the Alamo was vurt down
A tiny settlement of Americans
On foreign land who had not rights
But had all not out lasted
The war wth the Imperial Mexcico
Which hd also seprated fro Spain
It turned out that eh lands across
The Atlantic were harder to govern
Than thought by imbeciles
Who were not royals
After winning In Mexico city
America gave them land they had not previously
Owned in order to annex California
Which was not owned by either
Spain nor France but Russia!
Which leads us to the SEwaards Folly
Seward was the Secretary of State
Who decided it would be a good idea
To own a bunch of ice and polar bears
He fought in congress to buy this chnk
Of land far off in the distance
It parctically touches Russia
Russia had been operating
Several busniess on the West coast
None of them illgeal
Although the pirates found
It fun to run ashore and capture
A community for themselvse
Fishing and furring
Were thier trade
A few real royals came as well
Thier descendants were left behind
All because the spanish had sent
Too many in the inquisitons
To Mexico to elimanate them from spain
They ahd not only rebelled but become crimnal
Russia decided to retreat
As they had farmers in the fields
Raising their tools in defiance
A number of assisinations would occure
Before they themselves were overtaken
Perhaps they should have kept California
But as it is Alaska was bought
By Seward for America
It turns out a bunch of dinasouras
Were whisked up to the tope
Of te world at some point
In the past and there are great oil reserves
Under the tundra
Along with gold which was found
In Alaska and Calfiornia
Califronia was never purcheased
Nor fought for but abandoned
The Russians chose to leave
And the Spanish would not support
Thier General Vallejo
When his family were taken hostage
The Bear Flag revolt it was called
The took advantage of the situation
Stoled the right to rule from spain
And handed it over to America
With out an honest declaration
At any time of ownership
Califronia runs itself
Independenat of the others
On the basis that hey have no choice
Unlike Texas which brags
But thrw itselaf at America
Once they had crossed the line
Ad could not hold down the fot
Is America an Imperialist?
Do they go out and assume control
Of foreign lands?
They gave Mexico back once winning it.
But they kept Hawaii, the Philipines and Puerto Rico
All good port places for their navy
Where once England navy made
Evrery one quiver at the sight
Of its mast coming into view
This once they destroyed
The Spanish armada
It is now the US navy
Which ones the world
And brings relief to foreign land
Which they then hand back
When they are done with them
Such as Afghanistan
But what about the Crimea
It is a nice port place
It holds the other world leader
The Russian navy
Said to be better then the Americas
Resides in a place called Sebastopol
But is it worth angering Europe
To allow themselves to acquiree
Another foreign port?
They don't acquire foreign lands
But do accept port towns
Such as the one on Cuba
A long-standing enemy
What are we really doing
Sitting back in our chairs
And imagining that we are?
If not Imperialist
Of foreign acquisitions
Then what?
We have the power to send rockets to space
And walk on the moon
Or the beach on either side
Of the continent
We can go to almost any port
Except China the long sought one
What is America after?
Peace of mind for Europe
Religious freedoms?
The right to womanhood?
To be mixed race
None of these exist in Ukraine
They are still a divided people
The Jews they could not get rid of
So, they wait quietly until the right time
And it will come no matter who is in power
Look what happened to both Germany and Russia
They both were taken over by Jewish puppets
Men who had to do what they were told
Once in power.
There are no rights for Africans and Asians
One sees few of them and most are leaving
As they should because this is not a place
To shelter, as for women do we see anyone
Except the first lady?
Imagine a world without deception.
I ask again,
What are we doing in Ukraine?
They are sad to be refusing freedom to others
And are not going to hand over their country to us.
So why are we arming them?
Zelensky is no more than a puppet
We are going to go broke supporting them.
Please be careful with your choices
As we have few left in our own homes
That globe is mesmerizing isn't it!
