Bigotry More Alive Now Than the 60s

Giddiness pretends we love indifference Desperation in ignorable thoughts Status quo readies us for church and stuff Our heads buried like the pink flumed ostrich Having more in common with us than us Hatred follows us around like mouse traps Head clouds are pretty not hearing squeals Bigotry alive more than the sixties War? Why not? We have our assault rifles. Dr Martin Luther King tried so hard How many of us still remember this? I feel he would be ashamed of us. Come take a picture so we can pretend Crazy out-of-sync is our new normal Souls leaving hard and fast now to escape
