JUNIOR'S HEGEMONIC RAP by Michael Paik, inspired by and written for WHEN THE PURPLE SETTLES

In the beginning—God created man//

And the plan was to place//

All the land in his hands//

But he got a little taste//

Of his hegemonic state, insatiable sensate//

He began to contemplate//

With the advent of race, came the advent of hate//

You understand? It was our land he began to take//

Our mothers he began to rape//

Objects to be coveted//

Manifest Destiny—the new Covenant//

Hypocrisy of democracy’s sophistry’s//

ART MATSU: First Asian American NFL Quarterback also a Pioneer in America's Oldest Public University
