Chalk Board Thugs

Don't fear the blue man group
They're far less dangerous
than we are to ourselves...
but 
do beware of carnivorous teachers
those harmless looking
wire rimmed 
blackboard preachers 
wielding pieces of chalk
on the tips of 38 caliber tongues...
turning classrooms into cancer cells 
teaching the innocent
that it's all about 
color of skin and not character 
after all-
 
Despite the truly oppressed
coming here by the millions
from every nook and cranny
on this cracking planet.
Children are being taught
that the USA is systemically 
racist 
oppressive 
inherently evil.
If that were the case
would they not avoid 
it like the plague?

"Teachers," along with the politically connected
are pushing socialism and mayhem-
The press corps. {short for pressurizers} are the devil's sword.
Pitting we the peeps against one another.
Always dividing by color, turning up the pressure.
Highlighting the worst of mankind
Turning up the pressure to further divide
Playing heavily edited clips
Turning up the pressure
over and over again...
for ratings
for revenue
for votes
Turning up the pressure
way past the red zone
until the colors explode
into a death rainbow...
Soulless pressurizers
dividers of souls-

Pay attention, parents; they're after your lambs.
Demand body cams for these teachers of mayhem.

Protect them from those chalk-wielding, scorpion-hearted thugs.
Lift your hog noses from your cell phones
Listen to your children-
give them a peck of hope
and a bushel of love.
