Time for Outrage
Beyond the shock of hearing
Of Rob Reiner’s awful death
Were the comments by a “leader”
Who spews hatred with each breath.
No matter what your feelings
(And of Reiner, I’m a fan),
There’s a level of respect that should
Be granted to a man
And his wife who suffered as they died,
At home, where they were stabbed,
Yet even this presented as
Attention to be grabbed.
There aren’t words to write about
This national disgrace
And even if some MAGA folk
Speak out to save some face…
The outrage should be ‘cross the board –
Ferocious, fierce and loud,
For how in this America
Can anyone feel proud?
