When We Die Again

Tim Barrus

My life has been a life of death. Code for it has not been much of a life. Is that all you got. I am disappointed. What a waste of so many lives because one old white man says we all need to die.

I seriously need some old white men to put on a handmaiden’s costume of white bonnets, and red capes, but the old white men underneath the symbolism, they get to be butt naked. And barefoot. Man the hatches. Let loose the doves. China makes HIV drugs. You cannot afford them. You elected him.

Not me.

Repent.

You have lost your country. AIDS will break out everywhere. Why. Tariffs. We are challenging China. All the old men want to see you die. Newsflash: You are the walking dead. They are coming to get you, and no ha ha about it.

This is how it works. I got my kids out of the country. I have been able to smell death for a long while. Decades. Now is the time. You are going to have to examine this, but I would argue that it is time to resist in what you already do — learn the art of delay — all of this will be branded as heretics. People are going to die. There will be public hanging and let them dangle. That will be you, that will be me, that will be all of you. You do not have to have a direct line to god. No one does.

It all went South. Literally. — tim barrus
