Hooray For the Bullies

Of course the ones with the guns must be right.
Because they are totally ready to kill and fight.
Don’t make them mad or they’ll kill your mother.
They are ready to maim and hurt one way or another.

The bullies are in control now in every town.
Pretending that others want to take them down.
We don’t want them angry so please don’t speak up.
The ones with the guns we will toast and we’ll sup.

Hooray for the bullies I yell proudly and loudly every day.
The ones who generalize others, and say things in a mean way. 
Because I am fearful. Also, these warriors love their gun play.
I truly hope they have already met their killing quota today.

It is sad how people are fervently against each other when we used to be respectful but are not any more. So very sad.
