I’m an American

by Paul Lojeski / May 12th, 2013

I’m an American.
I can do whatever
I want, when I want,
to whomever I want.
It’s God’s plan
for America
and for me.
It’s in the Constitution,
too. That’s how
I know I’m superior
to others, any
others, anywhere.
And if I have to kill,
it’s not a crime
because I kill only
to defend my rights
as an American.
My killing, then,
is a good killing,
an honorable killing,
a moral killing.
Therefore, nothing
I do can ever be
called wrong.
I’m an American.
I can do whatever
I want, when I want,
to whomever I want.
Simple as that.
