Hatred

You skulked down the hidden backstreets of rationality, 
peering through the keyholes of human decency, 
and crawled in through the sewers of thought, 
to whisper your name to the unsuspecting innocent, 
filling them with the fear of discontented oppression.

“We are America, So up Yours!” was your battle cry 
and the naive jump aboard your pretentious parade. 
Fake news… 
Fake hair… 
FAKE TRUTH! 
Maybe we should have ‘read HIS lips’.

Wall them out, or wall us in…that is the question.
Oh yes, my dear friend William,
we are truly suffering the slings and arrows,
of outrageous buffoonery. 
Do we now take up arms and light the battle fires of resistance?

Or do we sleep… 
Perchance to dream.
Be careful what you dream for.
