Straw House

It's really not about toppling statues of evil
or burning books about malice and hate
if we were to leave only things of purity
there would be nothing left standing
we'd have to topple ourselves
put ourselves in the ground
alongside the great pyramids
built by Jewish slaves-

Make no mistake this is not about equality and justice
its about playing politics-disruption of democracy
its about out of the closet Marxist and fascism
its about revenge- payback-purely hate motivated
churning up sins of the distant past-
sprinkling in a little population control
the casting of the timeless first stone
through intimidation-destruction-race baiting
the attempt to eliminate the voice  
and history of a race-
Just as Isis the Taliban -communist, Maoist and the Nazis
have tried to do..
People of America and the rest of the free world
this is no time for division-through violence and censorship
we've come to far to let the ratings whores lead us into believing
that the freaks of this world outweigh the good people
don't let the self indulgent political machine
lead you to believe that we need them to help 
us build racial unity-it's in our hands-we the people
they work for us-we don't work for them
speak with your vote-not with the mouth of a gun
let the people speak and once they have spoken
accept the results-work with the other side for the common good 
to do otherwise means your just another whore to your impulses-  

There are many wolves at the door of our straw house
dressed in little red nuclear hoods
huffing and puffing...waiting for the moment
that we crack under the weight of ourselves

100 billion percent right. It's all about the agenda. You nailed it, Anthony. Thanks, Gershon

I can't imagine what the atmosphere is like down there. Riveting ink for this Canuck, peaking over her fence hoping the neighbour's house doesn't explode (taking out the entire block). All the loudest voices seem to be so divisive.
