Pharaoh

Pharaoh, is my name. Sometimes I respond to it sometimes I don't. I write poems to get by on the days I don't want to be alive.

As relaxing as I find this, I also find it oddly ominous and terrifying.

Leviticus

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."

How dare you, how dare you call what I felt a war zone? How dare you, paint your, your last suppers and your prophecies in the blood you pumped out of my heart, That heart I wrapped up in, in lilac petals and covered in rose thorns, the one I sent by messenger to greet you when you rose on the 3rd day? Because everyone around here throws stones at me for a sin I did not know was a sin. They say... they say I am temptation and such will be the downfall of you, but how, how can this be a fall when I've never felt so high as I feel when I see you turn rivers into oceans of red wine? You, you make these books, these books and preach it to these people, Making a mockery of the ribs I've ripped out of my abdomen to make you a frame for your bed, Everything I am is a manifestation of a want that you've whispered to me in the confession booths after mass, I've burned gospels in my lungs just so you would want to fucking listen to me, sing. I don't sing, you know I don't sing, but you made me show up for choir practice just to 'try it out'; What you haven't told me is that no matter how many psalms I memorize, you will still never introduce me to your gates, You'll never invite me in, you won't ask me to stay the night, you don't even let me drink out of your cup, Is that what I've become? The lover that comes and lights you on fire when you start to feel a little cold? The one that holds you on the nights your body won't turn into bread? You want me to be the curtain for your show, the sinner to your saints, That's why... that's why you did this isn't it? Because you make mistakes but you, you can't tell them that, You, you are God, You created a stone that you no longer could carry so you needed a scapegoat... That's where I, where I came in right? I carry the tears while you pick up the smiles, I take the head shakes and you get the prayers before bedtime.. I didn't ask for this, I didn't want to... be, bad; I wasn't bad, you said I was good, You said I was good to you, You said I was good to you, You said I was good for you; So why am I the one who you paint blood red, place horns on and throw into the flames? I, I think I know why, haha, I think I know why baby, It's because I'd do it. I'd do it. I'd do it. I'd do it. I'd do it if you asked me to, If you put on that 3:47 am sleepy voice you always have over the phone, and throw in an I miss you before you ask, I would do it. I would burn for you, I would... burn for eternity for you as long as I knew you were up there and you were happy, Because I am so sinfully engulfed in you that I would burn and scratch and peel and scream each night at red walls if it means you sleep well at night, If it means you'll eat more than once today without me asking, If it means you'll stop biting your fingernails like I told you to, If it means you will write about me... I will take the stones, the lies, the fallen angel story if it means you are happy, I am miserable, but this is bearable, Because the only thing I've ever loved loves his bible more than he will ever tell them he loves me. But I know, how much your hands ache as you write scripture, How you trace the spine of that book trying to remember what my hand feels like at your throat, I know, as you preach you look to the back to see if I put on my hoodie and glasses to come watch you in your holiness, But I don't come to mass anymore, I can't come to mass anymore, I can't listen to you condemn that godless feeling I feel when I trace your lips with my finger, That is a psalm all on its own: 'Most say a man lying with a man is a sin against god and his holy kingdom, but I will not sit by as you preach as if this kingdom would exist if I hadn't made you cum at the altar before your saints arrived.'

I hope one day that history looks back on ronald reagan as one of the 20th century’s most vile and disgusting serial killers

Remember when like 6 Americans had ebola and it was an international emergency, and Obama flew out to meet survivors? Here is a list of things the United States government did in response: -Increasing the number of Ebola testing labs throughout the U.S. that can quickly and safely screen a potential Ebola specimen -Educating more than 150,000 health care workers on how to identify, isolate, diagnose, and care for patients under investigation for Ebola -Developing countermeasures — including the first Ebola vaccine to progress to Phase 2 testing — to prevent and treat Ebola -Converting at least 10 of the Ebola Treatment Centers into long-term Regional Ebola and Pandemic Treatment Centers for long-term readiness for years to come -Helping state and local public health systems accelerate and improve their operational readiness and preparedness for Ebola or other infectious diseases Source: https://whitehouse.gov/ebola-response

When the Reagan administration was faced with tens of thousands of gay men dying, they did nothing. They made jokes. They laughed. They caused an epidemic that killed 40 million people, because they hated gay men and thought we deserved to die.

There is so much more to it.  There is a myth perpetuated by Reaganites that he was an historically significant  President, in some positive sense.  If you are old enough to have voted in 1980, you probably know differently.  If you were born after 1980 you have been raised on this myth.  He sold Americans a fable about a Hollywood movie-like exceptional past and destiny, and led ordinary people around with portrayals of that mirage while his reactionary robber-baron friends set about dismantling 50 years of progressive advancements for working men and women, on their way to returning themselves to the position of unfettered economic domination they held between the Civil War and the Great Depression.  He was a union buster.   He gave us Scalia – need I say more?  He tried to give us Robert Bork (does anyone under 30 even know who he is?).  He lied about Iran/Contra.  He avoided dealing with AIDS.  He sealed the political sham-show between right wing capitalist kings and the evangelical thought-control snake-oil salesmen.  Americans don’t want to hear that they are ordinary citizens of the world, and they don’t want to hear that the aren’t anointed by some deity to lead the world to salvation.  They lapped it up, and they continue to do so.

I have to wonder how the response of a more competent presidency to the AIDS crisis might have changed even the global impact of the disease. Where might we be today? How many millions of people would be alive and not suffering? Yes, Reagan was historically significant—for fucking things up in a globally devastating way.

When you hear how he slashed Income taxes, he did on the Wealthy, but he increased the lowest tax rate from 10% to 15%.

[wikdsushi-deactivated20201108]

His campaign was funded by Christian radicals, whose entire goal was to dismantle Roe vs. Wade and see American women relegated once more to back alleys and dirty knives.  He opened the door to religion in politics in a way the postwar McCarthyists never dreamed possible.  Now, 36 years after his election, maybe a third of American medical schools offer proper access to even first-trimester abortion training (in an era where that should mean a pill or vaginal suppository), and there are currently fewer doctors trained to perform late stage abortions for the entire US than there were pre-RvW (when such operations were only performed as a heroic measure).

And no one has even touched on his legacy of racial hatred, deliberate destruction of black communities and establishing of COONTELPRO to destroy the lives of black panthers and black activists, his actual murder of black activists and more. He was actually a demon.

If you want to know how many lives could have been saved if the Reagan government had just fucking BUDGETED for AIDS research instead of telling AIDS researchers that they had to beg, borrow or steal any money for AIDS from other programs–then read And The Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic, 20th-Anniversary Edition by Randy Shilts. And be prepared to have your heart broken at the unadulterated and wildly irresponsible waste.of time and human lives. 

Other shitty things Reagan did:

1) He almost tripled the National Debt. And you need to see the difference with zeroes:

When Reagan took office in 1980: $909,100,000  owed.(909.1 billion)

When Reagan left office in 1988:  $2,601,300,000,000 owed. (2.6 trillion)

2) He raised taxes on the middle class and the poor ELEVEN TIMES while in office. 

3) Unemployment soared after Reagan passed his tax cuts for the rich, and it took decades to get back down again.

4) He turned the U.S. into an illegal weapons dealer.

5) He funded terrorists, helping create the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. From NewsOne:

After Ronald Reagan was elected in 1981, U.S. funding of the mujahideen increased significantly and CIA Paramilitary Officers played a big role in training, arming and sometimes even leading mujahideen forces.

The CIA trained the mujahideen in many of the tactics Al Qaeda is known for today, such as car bombs, assassinations and other acts that would be considered terrorism today.

6) When his economic policies began wreaking havoc on the government, Reagan stole from Social Security–to the tune of 2.5 TRILLION–treating it for eight years as the private slush fund of himself and his rich friends. 

7) [T]he Reagan administration demonized opponents of apartheid, most notably the African National Congress, as dangerous and pro-communist. Reagan even vetoed a bill to impose sanctions on South Africa, only to be overruled by Congress.

They called him the Teflon president for a reason. All this shit–and none of it stuck to him. He got away clean every single time.
