In small waves they first came, afraid...begging testing the waters and the shores of a new land then more came and more Locusts swarming, spreading up and down the seashore they went taking freely whatever they found. There were others already there whose passage left no trace no destruction no pain Pagans whose lack of faith in a God of love caused them to care to love to maintain a good earth for those following behind -- doing as had their forebears for thousands of years before. The locusts tired of the seashore depleted its resources looked West: a land of dreams endless in possibilities of vast untapped resources whose humanoid population with pagan religions barbarian speech immoral dress dark pigmentation defied propriety God's righteous decree that all humanity be white-skinned or have no claim to the earth... --Heard the trumpet call to Jericho and genocide repeating biblical history to inherit the blessing of God in their promised land and bless them, He has: with violence and bloodshed with hate and fear with slavery to self with money and power to buy and to sell (everything!) with the ‘exalted’ distinction of becoming the prime movers of the destruction of earth and all that is in it! "...In Thy Holy Name, O God we shall destroy..." sang the hordes of locusts trampling the prairie grass in pagan blood. |

yep...that about covers it...How white folk 'carved a new way of life' out of the Native (true) Americans! [the most common excuse for unconscionably atrocious behavior throughout human history has been (and still is) "Its God's Will"...for example the concept of 'Gihad' ('Holy' wars against 'nonbelievers')] VERY effective (locust) analogy... applause for this 'penning'! |
