Free Verse Nonsense

Warning!! This is a free verse poem. It may not meet the high standards of poetry soup. It is also highly controversial. The writer of this poem realizes that poetry is supposed to be light and fluffy! Just like TV sitcoms. But hear it is anyway, (oops hear, I mean here, is spelled wrong, automatically disqualifying this poem as reflecting any beauty or talent at all.) Hope it does not wound anyone too badly. I Wonder what the headlines would be like if Fox News existed in the early 1800's? Perhaps something like, "Despite minor slave trade infractions this month, such as 10,000 pieces of human chattel suffocating on their own defecation, 5000 female slaves being raped by their masters, and 9,000 male slaves beat to death for smiling at their master's wives, ABOLITIONISTS CONTINUE TO PURSUE THEIR OPPRESSIVE, SOCIALIST AGENDA!!!!" Wow, how badly I long for the good old days of "American Morality!" When the American Spirit was "Strong and Virile!!!" Before all these bleeding heart abolitionists freed the slaves and destroyed the Southern Economy!!!!! Ah, just brings a tear to a brotha's eye. Thank God for Fox News!!!! Who else do we have to keep us honest?!!!!

it's funny,a comment made during a CNN interview with an avid militia,neo-nazi,who stated that all non-whites should go back to their homelands because America is a country for whites....white america....still,in the 21st century,only what,50 years removed from the civil rights movement,and a 100 plus years of forced slavery,and most still harbor these sentiments....amazing isn't it...
