American Crucifixion

Gaze upon her, fellow Americans. Gaze upon what we have done. What we are doing.

Gaze upon her, fellow Americans. Pause at least a moment to gaze upon her. Consider what we have done. Are doing again … today. An innocent child crucified by the corrupt, immoral, decadent and evil Israeli/American fascist empire. A new martyr of today’s latest genocide of our corrupt, arrogant, viscous world empire.

This time it is a sweet, innocent child. A toddler. What, maybe 3 years-old? Simply clad in similar sweatsuit and carefully tied tiny sneakers we dress our children and grandchildren in every day. Now dead and crucified upon our dollar sign of depravity and institutional cruelty.

Crucified by all of us. In our name and by the immoral monsters of both parties we vote into power over … and over, as they ride to office on dirty corporate Zionist money. Even those of us who vehemently oppose this Crucifixion share in the responsibility. No matter how loud we protest and object, we have not done enough.

I have not done enough.

As in all empires, we sit plump on the profit pillows of systematized and institutionalized exploitation, enslavement, torture and death. Commodified, industrialized genocidal brutality: It is the only thing we are good at any more. Experts, really. Millions have been crucified in our name and on and for our dollar.

Today, this precious child is the Crucifixion we raise up to the world this Easter Sunday in our name. Tomorrow there will be another.

And the day after, another.

In our name.

All of our names.

Day after day after...

“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’

“The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
