I’m Going To Offend You
I’m going to offend you
I will
I might
I won’t
be able to help myself
help yourself
to my apology
my diatribe
be my tribe
I sign
so you can hear me
out
don’t shout
don’t be cute
it’s all about
love thy neighbor
the Samaritan
not the cool guy
the one you hate
ain’t you going to pass him by
for the other guy
you know
the one you like
who agrees with you
day and night
like a bobblehead
see the head a-bobbl’n
try on your neighbor’s shoes
step in the doo-doo
you think that’s disgusting
you do you do
you wipe your neighbor
off your feet
don’t care
what side of the fence you’re on
you’re either kind or not
what kind are you
stop
don’t even ask
but do ask
for sugar
neighbors that’s what they do
or are supposed to
was that lost
to the fifties
won’t you even chance
for peace
seems it’s a split
crack open the door
a little more
…a little more
and when your at the door
look ‘em in the eye
don’t try to sell
‘em a vacuum cleaner
thank the Lord
no one sells those
anymore
nor
encyclopedias
stay away from
the media
and
love your neighbor
