Normalized News
So, I'm listening to the radio
on the way down the road.
To a "local color" piece
about a some cowboys out west
and they're interviewing this
one cowboy,
"What's it like out here?"
and he responds "Well, we're
just rounding up some cattle
out here, bringin' 'em in and
cuttin' their n(bleep)uts off".
For a split second I wonder,
then I realize, they've bleeped
out "nuts"...cows nuts obviously
an offensive term to burger
loving *****sapiens who might
be listening over the air.
I think, "hmmm, ok so
this is news normalcy, where
bovine killers are offended
to hear of cuttin' off cow nuts.
Yet yesterday when I was listening
and they spoke of gang wars
down south, and how teachers
were being threatened,
and how yesterday, six severed
heads were found in front of
a local elementary school,
but authorities were not sure
if the grisly discovery
was gang related or not.
So, normalcy is when
people's decapitations
for power control of gang
turf is not bleepable
to my sensibilities, but
cow castrations are.
Now I feel normal.
What the (bleep)!
