a bored housewife
fake nail junkie
spots herself a catchy piece of
someone else's heritage
the Beverly beauty tracks down it's root
In, she pries her way, easily
gathers, hunts and consumes
ideas and icons from a
beaten down
near extinct heritage
she enshrines them
with a clear gloss top coat
sells rebottled spirituality
to the grandchildren of the enemy
In this information electronic age
history is precious
the new inherits value
"I wont let you bastardize my culture."
I state calmly
refusing to share information
we just want to learn
freckled Whitey whines
while I head back to my reserved piece of America
