The Great White Kings

by Marc D'Agosta

new world, no one was ever brave enough to take the social steps to insure the health and care of the Free Citizens, whose business had exceeded the importance of their well-being, placing both in a poor state and failing condition. Every Free Citizen was condemned by the madness brought upon them by their Great White Kings.

  However, to describe the Great White Kings as mad would neither be a fair nor accurate description. A fair and more accurate description of the Great White Kings is that they were sane men, who embraced madness for the strength and security of a nation. Madness always has it’s reasons, and it’s symptoms. Unfortunately, both are often ignored until it’s too late.

  And in fairness to the Free Citizens, who fell prey to the madness of their Great White Kings, their affliction was common throughout the world. When given the choice of the robber and the Savior, most people choose the robber, then pray to the Savior for forgiveness.

  Even so, let us not dwell on the negative, or the past. Let us take a positive step forward. In the spirit of saviors, who make good on their own promise and immortality whenever they willingly march to the cross for the health and well-being of the people, let us forgive and make a blind person see.

  Let us forgive the Free Citizens for choosing the robbers. For they were too ignorant to understand their own plain English. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Wolfkeepers, Marksmen, Police and Soldiers for their atrocities against the Chosen Ones. For their excuse is always that they were only following orders and upholding the law. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Chosen Ones for their intolerable offences. For their only crime was that they were human. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Neighbors from South of the Border for being alien and illegal. For by invitation of Miss Liberty, our home is their home. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Pundits for mutinying against any noble premise and lending the freedom of the press out more as a stage for scandal and lunatics. For a fair observation is that they have become unbalanced. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Provincial Governors for stripping away Collective-Bargaining. For theirs was a dishonest mistake. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Conservative Pundits for collectively bargaining against the Free Citizens, while conveniently collectively bargaining for themselves. For what is good for them, is also good for us. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Lawyers and Agents, who would negotiate a Collective-Bargain even in a time when not convenient. For we are free citizens, not subjects. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Labor Ranks--Organized or Independent--for their lack of unity. For they shortchange themselves with nothing to show for their work. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Studious Band of Strikers for a vision that was a bit hazy. For while their vision was a bit hazy, the heart of their occupational grievance was in the right place. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Local Coppers for their blurred vision, serving up evictions and arrests with bashing batons. For their duty is always to protect and preserve order, before they protect and preserve what they merit. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Educators and Fire & Rescue for their lost earnings. For nothing in life is ever learned until after everything has gone up in smoke. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Hound Dogs for their blue-blood act and retreating under fire. For they thought they would live to fight another day. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Patrons and their prejudicial opinion not to drink from the well of wellness and prosperity. For they are entitled. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Teetotalers and Black Widows for desecrating what is patriotic and constitutional. For as the proverb goes--all good things must come to an end. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Hackers for monitoring movements and conversations of Free Citizens. For what good is any free nation without it’s secret police? Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Mistresses for their compromising contribution. For they are always unfaithfully yours and a fatal attraction. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Mongrels for having more passion for their Mistresses, and less to combat a primary villain. For they, too, were capitalists and the wrong kind of sinners. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the primary villains--the Fuel Merchants and Upper One Percent--for their unscrupulous course of rhyme and reason. For they were early to bed, early to rise, greedy and seedy, before their demise. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive other Merchants and their Money Insurers--all the Variable Schemers--those who were bailed out. For while crime does pay, there still is no honor among thieves. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Utility Merchants for utilizing Conservation for their proficient price proliferation. For no one could possibly question their good intentions. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Networks and those Merchants, who would sponsor the corruption of family values and decency with a spectacle of murder and mayhem. For as it is with any family, blood is thicker than water. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Oddsmakers for betting on a bloodbath. For they run a respectable business and made an accurate appraisal. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Health Merchants for their part in the high cost of living. For they gamble on our good health, while we gamble against it. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Physicians for the order of their priorities. For nothing in life is free, including a primary care for life, itself. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Foreign Merchants for our dependency. For our wish is still their command. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Hostile Parties for collecting the debt owed. For with their lending generosity, also comes payback. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive Surrounding Enemies for settling the debt owed them. For it is written, what goes around, most certainly will come around. Let us forgive.

  Let us forgive the Fabulous Violinist and the entire String Quartet for their mournful melody. For they lay us all to rest with such sweet sorrow. Let us forgive.

  And last, but once more not at all at least, let us forgive the Great White Kings. For they taught the world it’s greatest lesson... When freedom is defined as throwing people to the wolves, it is a fortune squandered. Let us forgive.

  This Great White Kingdom ruled by these Great White Kings had a great fortune and squandered it all. It was a colossal waste, laid to rest, a reign of only two and one-half centuries, without so much as even measuring a footnote in the world’s history. Yet, although it did not measure, it would be attributed one footnote that characterized freedom as a failed experiment. And this was the greatest sin of the Great White Kings.

  In reflection, any swindler can manufacture a sales pitch with a nationalistic furor and cry freedom, especially one who would rather mold a great white kingdom, rather than forge a great republic and democracy--a great nation, “...of the people, by the people, for the people.” As with anything, even the cry freedom, the source has to be considered and the proposition must be legitimate, as in, “We hold these truths to be self-evident...” And any human being of moral and decent character knows, whether it is spoken in the plainest English or any other Alien language, that freedom should never be and has no place being defined as throwing people to the wolves. Freedom in any language should only be defined as, “One nation under God, indivisible--meaning impossible to divide (once more in plain English)--with liberty and justice for all.” For a pledge to this allegiance is divine. And consider this before the foundation of our faith is completely lost--the more one speaks of God, the less they probably really know of him. God prefers less chatter, more listening. Perhaps, the time is now upon us to listen. Let us forgive. Let us forgive. Let us forgive. As we have pledged in our allegiance to God and our Country with our faith and compassion formed from a foundation of conscience and goodwill as it was intended
, let us then stand together and cry, “Freedom, freedom, freedom...!”
