[I made the mistake of turning on the radio during the news this morning. I usually avoid the news because I am far to sensitive and analytical. I do not propose to have any understanding of big issues, and do not think my writing is “right” or “good,” it is only reactionary. And this is how I reacted (not re-written or edited, please forgive that)]
40 years ago someone did something stupid
(that harmed nothing, but feelings)
Lets not move on, or find any current actions of actual wrongdoing
Lets not let them have experiences to grow from
Lets not forgive, or listen
Lets just crucify them
Is this progress America?
I am ready to give up on politics
Appearing to only be driven by hate or revenge
BOTH SIDES!
No one appearing to think or listen
“We have been the oppressed, so we should oppress”
“We know best”
Is this progress America?
The right hates me, for wanting to change the system
The left hates me, for holding them to their same standards
They are correct, I am an awful person (based on sex, ethnicity, and individuality)
So I will hide another 9 years in my cabin (like the last 9)
Seeing the liberals again, when they hunt me down to lynch me, in the name of equality
Is this progress America?
Our country use to hold the ideal of equal representation
Whether or not we agreed
But now we represent only opinions with which the majority agrees
Supporting any lynch mob, as long as it meets the “liberal” standard
Is this progress America?
…Seems like more of the same
