To-day I am reminded(Im old enough) 

of Chicago cops riding on horseback across campus braining student anti-war demonstrators with their billyclubs

and the words that came out of their mouths around their bits

the same words  out of the mouths of some infuriated World War II and Korean vets 

touting their Patriotism and bravery over Ours 

and those words again out of the ever-slapping gums of Republicans and any Religions Book-bangers who sided

against humanists liberals and War-foes

 

To-day I want to remind them of their words   and hand them back

America  Love It or Leave It
