Slurry with the Fringe on Top
Can’t you see it, my fine sir?
Your life is one long racial slur,
combined with the disdain you feel
for a fine calf in a high heel.
You rail and sputter, rage and roar
until your scorn becomes a bore.
A petulant and spoiled child,
you bring out what is dark and wild
in those you seek to represent,
’til all of us are madness bent.
Others seek to stem the tide.
They match your vain despotic pride
with reason, kindness, calls for peace.
On their calm waters, you float like grease.
How can our country have sunk this low?
We’re pulled out by your undertow.
We struggle here, in sight of land
where calm and justice have been banned.
You are the antithesis to reason.
Charged with infamy and treason,
you simply hold a mirror to
the truth and say it isn’t you!
Slinging charges wild and truthless,
you show your nature: vain and ruthless.
You pollute our rivers, offend our friends.
The harm you do just never ends.
The principles of our constitution
cry out for their restitution.
These shores that welcomed your family
call out for equality.
Those rights women have fairly won
are not yet ready to be done.
WE THE PEOPLE seek to be heard.
We’re tired of actions we find absurd.
In place of your outrageous gall,
we seek your silence once and for all!
The prompt today was slur.

This was great. I’m going to share with some friends. Sorry no FB. I’m trying to keep the friends I have left.

Ha.. I simply sometimes don’t comment. Some friends are too long-standing to separate over political disagreement. You are a wise woman.

I loved this poem. My favourite part: ‘The principles of our constitution
cry out for their restitution.’
You have expressed these thoughts most eloquently, it is a sad thought to know these things are a reality.

This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant and wonderful and I’ll repost it maybe Tuesday? It’s good, I think, to keep these going and frankly, my brain is suffering from a bad case of stupid. Any day now, my brain will return, but in the meantime, I’m counting on other people who have brilliant ideas 🙂 But this is SO very good.
