On the Bright Side
(Found Poem)
Dear Editors :
I'm tired of hearing minority groups
complain
that they deserve
a bigger piece of the pie.
I would like to leave this thought
with all those whining minorities.
Just imagine when you wake up in the morning
that there aren't any Anglos left in America.
Who would be responsible for running the country?
Who would be responsible for making laws?
Who would be in charge?
Can Mexican-Americans trust African-Americans to run the country?
I say no.
Can African-Americans trust Mexican-Americans?
I say no.
Can Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Koreans trust each other?
I say no.
Let's look on the bright side.
If it wasn't for Anglos,
all these different ethnic groups
would slaughter each other.
