My Friend is a Bear

My Friend is a Bear...

When she wakes up from a nap you don't want to be standing next to her


She thinks I'm making fun of her, but think about it...

Fishing. Swimming. Hibernating. Eating honey.

There's nothing wrong with being a bear!


Except for when she goes outside Snakes want to kidnap and rape her

The Grasshopper is arrested for selling his weeds as the Snake lurks in the distance,
waiting to pounce and strangle all of the life out of you

Lions tell her that she's fat and ugly so they can sell her beauty supplies, movies, and magazines

Tigers in China want their women to work for pennies an hour, so they need my friend's job

Vultures can't wait for her to need a loan, or foreclose on her home, so they can gorge themselves
until they can't fly anymore (then the government helps them get on their feet again)

Do you know how the Turtle really beat the Hare?

He rigged the race... bought off the judges and bribed the reporters to say he won

The Rabbit really beats the Turtle every time, but like our government the truth is
for sale

The Owl has a PhD, a PAC, and a weekly appearance on CNN

He's been paid to say he doesn't know how many licks it will take

Democrats and Republicans don't represent you

The Turtle and the Owl are the same...

They don't move unless a carrot or a lollipop's in front of their face

The Pig is selling genetically modified food laced with delicious growth hormones

Torturing his Cows for profits and fun

But everybody wants their cheeseburger to have a good life!

So the Pig also sells "health food" that tastes like the dirt it's supposed to be grown in

The Sharks smell blood in the water, the price of gas continues to rise... and so do the profits


Despite all of this, my friend is unfazed

Bears are never scared

She met a nice Bear who wanted to take care of her and her cub from a previous marriage

Now they're expecting their first cub together


Except the Snakes will be slithering, waiting to do unmentionable things with the cubs

The Lizard is arrested for smoking his rock while your children are turned into prey

The wolves will keep howling... looking to brainwash and spread lies about what their way
of thinking can do for you

Lions will fill the cub's heads with advertising and the need to buy things... then deny them jobs
as they hire overseas

Tigers in China will try to make the dollar worthless while selling them toys dripping with
lead and mercury

Vultures will be there if the cubs fail, always circling and looking for tragedy and hardship, always
ready to collect a fee

The cub's natural habitat will be sold and become property of Saudi Arabia

The rivers and streams will be filled with little plastic water bottles and aluminum cans

The Turtle won't represent them

The Owl will use issues like illegal immigration and the "Culture War" to divide them

Slaves to our debt

The cubs won't have time to create their own problems

They'll still be trapped in our mistakes

America will be a changed place, no longer #1 in the world

The fire won't burn, darkness will creep in

The world's hope for freedom and dreams will go dim

The Lions, Tigers, and Vultures will rule the Earth


But not only is my friend a Bear, my brother is Gay

My Grandma lives in Kentucky and epitomizes Middle America

My other grandma was a Jew from New York City who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

Growing up in Arizona I've lived with illegal immgrants, and they're just like me and you


Gay. Black. Mexican. White. Muslim. Christian.
Its all fake

The differences between us aren't real
Like a black and a brown bear

Not enough of a difference to vote or kill over


All of our lives we've been told about Russians, Terrorists, and Loch Ness Monsters

Be scared
Go to war
Watch your back
Hunt
Eat your kill

Ignore the Vultures pecking at your eyeballs

Let the Lions feast on you

Its the law of the jungle

Wealthy or poor


The laws we live by are turning the Middle Class into an endangered species

My friend the Bear is fierce, but its no longer safe for her

Worse yet... her cubs will one day set out in a land that is dangerous, corrupted, and
not getting any better


This goes against all laws of nature

We're supposed to evolve

The world is supposed to spin foward

Our seeds should grow higher than us


So I don't follow the law of the jungle anymore

If I pick up a gun, I wont be shooting at the usual targets

I'll be big game hunting... NOT like the rich man hunting a caged animal

Like a caged animal with his hand on the trigger

Aiming for the animals that are destroying our land


But I love God...
And I love life...


So today I become a Gorilla

My enemy is the axe and I'm the fist

My enemy has the guns, so I use my art and my pen

My enemy controls the news and the media, so I use the internet

My enemy is stronger than me, but my friend is a Bear

She wants her cubs to grow big and strong

She pictures a land where they can be anything they want to be

She wakes up every morning to raise her cubs to be the best and brightest the world
has to offer

So I'll gladly fight or kill any animal that tries to stop her
Like a dog protecting a bone
The People are my Master
America is my home

My friend is a bear...

What kind of animal are you?
