White People

[mnaz]

In 1619 or so, white people
appropriated slave labor from
Africa, oh happy days of profit.

And now, and now? If you
spark you might go to jail.
Mother herself is the enemy.

The first Nazis were White.
So were endless imitators.
Maybe they'll grow up to lead.

Someday you might win big
if you have enough ignorance or
hate left in you to make a profit.

I really should stop oversimplifying things like this.

[saw]

succinct and truthful
some poems restate what cannot
be said too many times
it makes some folks uncomfortable
like a drunken uncle making a speech
at your wedding

We say we're tired of the rat race,
(even White People at times), maybe
even greed as well, strange because
well, frankly, White People seem to have
invented both, lately, but it must go back
further than that, right? I'm pretty sure.

What I meant to say was,
my heart is breaking.

Revisit Obama's years.
Seemed promising, but
then they started invading
other countries, making war,
as if that's all we know.

War is Inevitable, said War.
And we all agreed with War.
We signed off on godawful
politicians to save our soul.

This is the cost we must bare to live in the most powerful nation on earth - heavy military killing machines for defense (doubtful).

at the core of this white nationalistic posturing
is fear....they are paranoid...that weasel Stephen Miller
even talks about White Genocide, as if
helping refugees facing sure death where they came from
will ruin their way of life....make it disappear
it's cowardly and backward and makes them look foolish
in my mind....i mean we actually had a group of white nationalists
planning to kidnap a governor ( who was white by the way )
give her a trial...and execute her......holy hell
that is how far these extremist have gotten
and the irony is unless they are native American
they are all the grandchildren of immigrants
and they hate all people of color and aren't beyond killing a Caucasian or two
if they support progressive ideas
this trend has been brewing for years
born in think tanks and handed off to talk radio to spew their hatred
what is truly bizarre is both sides, if you will, want the same things
if you get everyone in a room you'd find out they all want good schools, good paying plentiful jobs,
good healthcare, safe streets.....Sure they will fight over Roe v Wade, but essentially we agree
it is so damn clever that the 1 %.... knows what they want is completely unpopular
and has sewn the seeds for bickering between various factions of needy people as a way to not have the masses look at them

what you have put so well in words
is what these white nationalists enjoy showing to the public -
how bad they are (how scared they are) and how they'll somehow
"save" the country from people that they alone believe are enemies of the State
and they need to be dealt with... (here's the joke) 1,000s more than their pitiful "army".

Why some people enjoy showing their country what ass holes they really are is a mystery
a mystery not worth delving into lest they may believe they are in the right.

So many REAL problems the world is facing and these creeps are just ignorant and even stupid
to ignore the realyh threats the world is facing - but they might be illiterate they truly are... a shame of this nation.
