Arizona Goddam

“Arizona Goddam!” is about a couple of things that have been going on in the state of Arizona. He starts off describing the landscape and how nice it should be to live there. But then the poem takes a turn and starts discussing the negatives in the state, mainly having to do with their government. He talks about a man who is falsely accused of rape (because he was Hispanic), the outlawing of Martin Luther King Jr. day (because no matter how much he did for the colored, he doesn’t deserve a national holiday), among other things. Arizona seems to being going for an ethnical cleansing; I wouldn’t be surprised if they started having concentration camps.
