Mommy, where do babies come from?

Do we have to make up new names? What wrong with ours? Aren't they pretty?

Chido, you don't realize we were conditioned to think of Paradise as a literal Paradise?

Bastard, went to South Africa? Isn't he afraid of the the thing that killed my daddy or the thing that killed the women who we stole the shoes from? 

Why did the bulldozers come? Why does the colonial aliens want our space, they have their own don't they? 

Everyone, family and friends, come to America! (Really don't) You'll get more opportunities and live better (more like you'll live in Detroit, you'll over consume and your cousin might go to war). We can go to the Statue of Liberty! (where we have to keep our eyes down because we're undocumented or are expired visa holders...)

School is good here, we get to go to school in America (but you have to work to get to college, 1 job, 2 jobs, three jobs, four). 

Eat, watch tv, eat, sleep. Repeat repeat repeat. 

Do I need toys? Mommmy, the white friends that I have in school play all day with dolls. Did they kill children to get those dolls??? 

Why is our playground in Detroit not shiny? Who and what made it this way?????
