She said this morning,
an American,
an American colored white
said to me during our exchange,
"All this garbage out here."
She wasn't talking about the garbage in trash cans and dumpsters.
She was talking about people.
After nearly being run over by an impatient, inconsiderate driver in a car
Her disgust was expressed,
replacing the exhaust in automobile pipes
My empathy in second gear
shared what was said to me by another American,
an American colored black,
"Too many demons here."
It fully resonated with the American lady whose life could have been taken
"Yeeeehhhh!"
I laugh about it
I laugh
Really, I laugh big
About the one that corrupts your children in its secular schools while "educating" them and in grossly other ways
The one that murders your brothers and your sisters here and abroad in the name of God
The one that unfairly and unjustly prices just about everything
The one that portrays women as *** objects and women go along with it exposing their private parts, exposing their bodies in public while Muslim women in hijab are ridiculed and lied about  
The one that could care less about the rapidly growing numbers of persons without a residence, unhoused, homeless
The one that poisons your tap water
The one that has many universities AKA businesses out to hustle students by criminally charging them prices that they would pay to purchase a condominium, after all they have genocides to help pay for
The one that makes cohabitation, fornication, and adultery look prettier than marriage
"This is the America you love."
