Poem
I was browsing a comic book
in the store yesterday,
surprised to find superheroes
obsessed with being gay??
Now this seemed rather strange to me
because I understood
comics are power fantasies
of heroes doing good.
And why did they all keep talking?
Text covered half the page,
enough so it was boring to
readers of any age.
When I looked into it online
I saw mad lefties slur
anyone who dared point this out,
they bad-mouthed all concerns.
I guess I now understand why
manga fills the sales rack,
woke comics read like root-canals;
Diversity is crap.

I went down to the cinema,
wanted to blow off steam,
relieve stress by watching heroes
stomp hard on villains mean,
and see some really hot people,
fantasies of beauty,
instead I got feminist girl
trying to lecture me.
Twig-thin girl fighting full-sized men,
doing it with her fists?!
Stopping to make quippy remarks
on how men deserved this?
This is supposed to bring us joy,
a relief to our minds?
If cinema is joyless slog
then It just wastes my time...
all the pedos in Hollywood
telling me what I lack?
Then wonder why their films don’t sell:
Diversity is crap.

I was looking for a novel,
saw one with an award,
took a chance that it might be just
what I was looking for.
But the damn thing had no structure,
poor characters, no arcs,
with little real consistency,
and much lacking in heart.
So I left a two-star review,
and commenters god mad,
said I must be a real ‘racist’
to think this book was bad??
That the writer came from 'the streets,'
and his ‘struggle was real,’
maybe, but the man’s writing craft
didn’t make readers feel.
The idea I should like something
because someone is black
is nonsense if they have no skill,
Diversity is crap.

I saw a story on the news
of a bridge that fell down,
killed seven people when it went
plunging hard to the ground.
Word came out that the engineers
missed several safety steps,
but then the news buried it all,
though it wasn’t done yet.
Turns out that they hired the team
so they could look diverse,
rights faces, genders, all of that,
but none who’d done real work.
This didn’t ‘help the narrative,’
so it all ‘went away,’
much like the seven people who
didn’t come home that day.
Physics, however, doesn’t care,
that much is a clear fact.
It ruins all that it infects,
Diversity is crap.

Excellence, now strive for that.
