Change we better believe in, or else

Morning Pledge

 

When I was a child, I was indoctrinated to start each school day with the rest of my collective, at rigid attention, with my right hand placed over my beating heart, all facing in the direction of the national banner, and in unison we would repeat the following like robots every day:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Amen.

Now, 50 years later, I am no longer a child.  My indoctrination is beginning to crumble.  I start each day in bewilderment of the insanity taking place all over the world.  I place my right hand over my beating heart, and I realize all people on Earth have the same gift in their chests, and that only the most foul psychological deviants would even think of taking it from them.  And they do exactly that, by the thousands, every day.  And like a robot, I have been helping those psychopaths my entire life without even being aware of it, as have all of us.  Though we still say the old pledge, we follow a new one:

I pledge my servitude to the Dollar
of the Hostage States of Amerika,
and to the Banksters to whom I grovel,
one Deception, underground, Unbelievable,
with lies and injustice for all.

I'm in.
