Let’s all get in the holiday spirit
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafor the war
Let’s all go shopping
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato protect our freedom
Let’s all drive SUVs
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato show our love of nature
Let’s all play with big toys
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawhile the rest of the world starves
Let’s all be little emperors
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato exhibit our humility
Let’s all be cold ruthless lyin thieves
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand pretend we’re warm caring human beings
Let’s all kick the door in
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato keep out the devil
Let’s invade other countries
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato spread democracy
Let’s bomb civilians
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand say we’re their saviors
Let’s rape and torture
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaato uphold human rights
Let’s all have a blood drive
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaSo we can spill more blood
Let’s all dig mass graves
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafor the foundation of new societies
Let’s all scream
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaThat it’s soaring when it’s sinking
Hey you
aaaaaaaaaaaaWe said let’s all do this
We don’t see you participating
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaWhat the hell’s the matter with you?
Somebody call Security.
Ken Greenley February 4, 1958 – February 12, 2020 was a writer who lived in Denver, Colorado. The number of places he’s lived is only exceeded by the number of job’s he’s had. Greenley liked to explore the themes of class division (in a supposedly classless country), the struggle to stay spiritual in the modern world, and the growth episodes that occur in childhood. He thought art, particularly writing, should combat media brainwashing, and should examine the clash between what we’re told and what really happens. He tried to make his material as funny as possible, because he found it hard to make modern life seriously, and considered it his mission “to make people laugh and think at the same time.”

I certainly enjoy your work Ken Greenley. I can’t wait to hear you read it again. Sincerely, Sue
