we saw through camouflaged intent
our heart’s nonchalance surprised us
we smiled, space flickered in applause
there was no need, life’s but a dream
wherein all that matters is love
What's that robed in gleaming emeralds rare,
Among the so-called dark-hued junkets plain?
So in blackest nooks glittering gems do glow,
Where prejudice would like them labelled vain?
Bravest arms that swift swords in virtue wave,
Cry for the very plunder their rawest valor gave;
Lying hands that didn't any valiant battles fight,
Claim the loot and push its owners out of sight.
Who is that warrior in harm's way yet unbent,
In peril's fierce path still going fast and stout?
See with what peerless conquest unparalleled,
The fitting patriot fags foes with fearless rout?
The country-loving martyr in clammy attires red,
Misses the full liberty into which his bravery led.
The country-hating bigot with faint fallacies bleak,
Takes all glory and dubs him an undeserving freak.
If Nature herself can't her succinct laws rewrite,
Don't tell me that Black is not as good as White!
Bad mouthing
Imbecile ...
Get your facts right
Otherwise please
Take a hike!

Your words travel on the wind
Like a falling leaf in a storm
So cruel so unkind
So off the mark and misinformed
The sharpness of your tongue
The venom in them eyes
Words so cruel they stung
The hatred so poorly disguised
Was it the colour of my skin
The place of my birth
Or just your hatred within
That lessens my worth
You May Be a Bigot

You may be a bigot
If the following's okay
You may not like to hear it
But you're a bigot anyway
On the news today I heard
What says bigot in my view
“I'm not anti-semitic
One of my lawyers is a Jew”
Have You Ever Met a Bigot?
By Franklin Price
7/7/2016
Have you ever met a bigot?
Whose views are hard and fast
Not hard to recognize them
I know you've met them in the past
Seen them on the TV
Many times they are the news
Washington is full of them
Theirs are the one and only views
Deafened by their voices
Blinded by their sight
No conflict in their thinking
They are the only one who's right
You'll find them in the parties
Republican and Democrat
They run in herds together
They're the meow of the cat
There's no cooperation
No negotiating themes
You might see them work together
But it's only in your dreams
Cannot listen to another
May find there's something good they say
May find the bigotry they live by
Is not the only way
It's a shame they can't stop talking
Close their mouths and open ears
Hear what others have to say
To alleviate the people's fears
come protest us and flail your skinny arms
say how we do society so much harm
Hyperventilating while stomping your feet
screaming your slogans in tune to your beat
chorus
Bigot, Bigot- an inedible image
Bigot, bigot- while virtue hemorrhages
Bigot, bigot- at hells gate
Bigot, bigot- Antifa hate
Your childish logic is pure hyperbole
Aggressive acts by one who’s mind is dull
Pimple faced geek so insecure and sad
Typical portrait of following the next fad
Chorus
your On the net obsessing over my views
childish antics, that to me do amuse
if you were remotely smart I might be scared
but you're insignificant, even I if I cared
chorus(2)
I'm anti antifa
I'm anti antifa
I'm anti antifa
I'm anti antifa
THE BIGOT
Having settled into a firmament
of tarnished soil,
your sprouted roots
bring forth sullied growth.
What was blessed
by the sun at birth,
now hides
in deep shadows
of the moon,
living half a life in darkness
creating the fear that
comes from a wolf's howl.

SYNOPSIS of 'THE BIGOT'
We are born innocent,
but soon learn to distrust.
Racial prejudice, bigotry,antisemitism
emboldens and excites ignorance
and soon hate becomes the bigot's
religion of choice.
indeed, he can be menacingly persuasive,
violently shaking the stone walls of the room
with maniacal screams about your impending doom;
and, he can be so soothingly reassuring
when he croons about the few who have been chosen
like him, destined before birth to be in heaven;
but though his professed faith appears as solid
and infrangible as iron, it is also iron cold, iron dead,
rusting away with bigotry swelling his head !
Black desires and dark opinions
sealed inside a heart's dominion
planted by a Father/Mother
can't forget and won't recover.
I don’t have many close friends
Why is that?
Do I choose too carefully?
Am I afraid of lowering defenses?
Do I enjoy being alone too much?
Why doesn’t it bother me more?
I feel like a pessimist
With nothing to kvetch about
I was going to start a club
Bigots Anonymous
Then apply for minority rights
But none reached my entry requirements
Too bad too rich too good too poor
Too middleclass too odd too ordinary
Someday God will walk by
And I’ll find fault with Her
(worknotes)
All bigots should be ridiculed until there are none
