"Acirema" is "America" spelled backwards. 'Nuff said.
Here in Acirema I don't have any clout They tell me I'm a white boy Like that should leave no doubt as to place of privilege My power and prestige My sense of self-extension Acute noblesse oblige Yet if I'm a magnet For self-fulfillment lies How come they call me "faggot" And shoot between my eyes? -- Bill Brent 2007.04.14

A powerful write, I really enjoyed this read. The last two lines are stunning, and made me want to read the poem all over again. Very nice work here!

Bill,

Spot on perfection: we don't know America, do we? A dark current of hatred flows down bloodied streets of discrimination against any who are considered "different": gays, lesbians, disabled, minority...well done. I will be reading more of your words.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I once looked Acirema up and never knew that this place actually existed and you'd be surprised who owns land there...

As for the write~ you penned a thought provoking piece that stirs ones other view on how hurtful people can actually be...and for what? So they themselves can be self-fullfilled?
Enjoyed this and the thoughts that linger...
Love and Peace~
