A Tale of Two Countries

Rangzen Shanti

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
It was a time of ignorance and naïve solutions
It was a time of rampant thievery
It was a time of trust and adoration
It was a time of racism and brutal oppression
It was a time of anger over unfair traffic violations
It was a time of countless Rodneys
It was a time when the innocent had nothing to fear
It was a time of cameras on every street corner
It was time to love Big Brother
It was time to flee
-Milwaukee-Green Bay, late winter, 2006
