– #A short Paradoxical Intention on Someone running for US Presidency –
25 years and my life is still / Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope / For a destination / I realized quickly when I knew I should / That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man / For whatever that means. (4 Non Blondes, What’s going on?)
Dear Mrs Haley! Dear Nikki!
How’s it goin‘?
Great!
How about making a long story short?
To begin with, the United States‘ Primal Issues[1] still suggest lots of Homework[2] to be done – by everyone.
With all due respect[3] and if SHE wants something done[4] – shouldn’t HER Biography[5], Persona[6] and Speak[7] have suggested a domestically sound and geopolitically[8] elaborate approach to becoming the FIRST LADY[9] being elected US President?!
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed / Just to get it all out what's in my head / And I, I am feeling a little peculiar / And so I wake in the morning and I step outside / And I take a deep breath and I get real high / And I scream from the top of my lungs / What's going on? (4 Non Blondes, What’s going on?)
With all due respect, SHE ’s been repeatedly hailed the 1rst Woman of Colour[10] (to run for Republican Nomination) and 5th GOP Woman[11] (to run for Presidency) or Cheerleader of 1% of America[12] – does SHE believe, such labels appreciated Women’s[13] as much as Minority Groups‘[14] Rights in the United States and elsewhere; has SHE taken sufficient advantage of HER standing as a Republican Lady[15] among a Majority of others?!
With all due respect, HER Talks immersed in the United States‘ History should’ve recommended a seasoned Historian’s backing – why hasn‘t SHE talked about the significance of WOMEN in History[16], in US Political History[17] and particularly, the Legacy of Republican WOMEN[18] yet, instead of having resorted to a Trumpian entanglement in chatting about The Civil War[19]?!
With all due respect, considering the odd number of Black Celebrities[20], i.e. all the Sammy Davis Juniors[21] having backed Trump – does she call that an exceptional achievement and expression of black Capitalism[22]?!
And I say, hey-ey-ey / Hey-ey-ey / I said Hey, a-what's going on? / And I say, hey-ey-ey / Hey-ey-ey / I said Hey, a-what's going on? (4 Non Blondes, What’s going on?)
With all due respect, is SHE competing with Donald or against Trump?!
With all due respect, HER Agenda[23] ain’t getting Americans nowhere – is HER Republican non-blonde[24] Barbie[25] Policy supposed to be IT?!
With all due respect, what’s the matter with HER?!
Respectfully yours,
Cal Caleido
