The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 73

DAY 73: It started, oh Lord, when?

probably back when Barack Obama

ran for president -- the hate, the vile 
hatred, I don't remember 
hate that strong since the 1960s, 
after King's murder and the Kennedys, 
like the good ol' boys had sobered up,

the cities burned anew for Rodney King

the thing returned, then went away
but the whole country not drowned

in bloody red hatred -- race hatred --

like back then, 68 (unless you

count anti-Muslim post 9/11);

so Black Obama dared to be

our leader our face our voice

and the KKK was reborn! They

resisted him for 8 successful

years with every dirty trick

more moonshine, white lightning
they got their Fuhrer elected

-- Russian debts to payoff --
finally someone to turn on
with their one arm salutes.

Where does all this race hatred

come from, what happened

to love one another, decades of
integration, the faux-right

has crafted an identity from

trash talk radio and Fox cons-

piracies, ordinary people buy in,

souls are sold -- they're pissed poor
and vocally letting out -- they're half lushes

and psychos -- they're in your face

with hate of race -- they're

armed and dangerous -- Amer-

ican Nazis, American Republican
Nazis? and that's okay? 

Not in my New Normal.
