her brown eyes
olive skin
holding her brothers hand
tight as she can
they run
through explosions in the night
past where they'd played
in another life
towards the sea
let the waves carry me
we'll be safe, we'll be free
or we'll drown, whatever, we'll be
far away from the pain
and the smoke and the flames
and the choke of the night
and the tears of the day
her glassy eyes
pale skin
tiny fingers
still grip
a torn
t-shirt
and you lay your head
in bed so safe and warm
and you fall
asleep and your dreams
won't be playbacks of screams
so you smile, and fuck whatever, you'll be
far away from the pain
and the smoke and the flames
and the choke of the night
and the tears of the day

cliven bundy and eric garner on your t.v. screen
above the ticker tape that tells how your money's doing
your favorite all-american teams overseas
where the uniforms are green backed
and the faces are of foreign kings and queens
and the fans all cheer and scream
from their sewing machines
consistency lacking these days with the world so polarized
with me or against, there is no in between
what we've done is eliminate the grey
so only us an them remain and its a goddamn shame
how dichotomous we became
when the television made a case to be afraid,
ill-informed, and outraged
cliven bundy and eric garner were both guilty
of breaking laws that you yourself have criticized at length
one got an army the other got some statist rhetoric
like ''shit happens when you resist"
when the truth is you should be as pissed
at one as you are the other, but this ain't about the law is it,
you fucking bigot?

can't we all just get along
you can't believe in equal rights
while not letting go of all your wrongs
and he said
be the change you wish to see
I start to wonder if you assholes
will amount to anything
at all
(with your heels firmly planted in 1952)
spidey's uncle said it best
and with all these straight white men around
with esses on their chests
who i might add
historically have always gotten
our opinions valued higher due to fucking genetics
it's so sad
that we have yet to overcome ourselves
and admit our ancestors were dicks
please for the love of fuck
stop getting so goddamn defensive
when you know good and well that this system is working
for us white men with straight orientation
get your heads out of your asses
and the shit out your ears
and quit nursing that bruised ego
cause we've got so much further to go
through rain sleet wind or snow
so it's best to just stop and ask for directions
so we can hopefully
get to equality
park before nightfall
