James Mclain Poet Carpe Diem

Television's Explosion of White Trash

I was appalled, no I was horrified
flipping through
the channels and I do it quickly
I saw the Steve something show on.

I could not understand the speech
of the whites
they obviously suffered from
some type
of congenital birth defects
talking about who has been intimate with who's brother and sister
and any thing else that moved.

Then I saw the audience
the flood of white trash left me
devastated.

And as to whom would condone such
an obvious
Exploitation of such damaged
creatures.

And I realized why the Republicans
would want them all,
to have as many children as possible
without any means to support them.

Should they be paid to be sterilized?
I confess after I
put the Lions and Bears game on
I secretly turned my head and unthinkingly,
I knew that
I would allow them to do it.

And now I have a better understanding of
why the police dislike going to their home's
a number of times each month.
