In my town
the spiritual warriors conjoined our nature conservancy advocates,
our homeless entertainers
mystics and muses

to establish...

Noise ,Noise, Noise
Bickering and ''whoremongering''

through ghettoizing "Negra Section"
hunting down our commercial whitebread 
heavenly ThriftyAcres

Wanna be a WalMart ImPlantation
but not Southern enough,

to withstand straight-male competition
in fluent White Privileged...
