Revile

White supremacist spews shit about election.
The truth is that lies aren’t free, Carlson.
Thought you could tucker away, hoping for Fox’s protection.
Oops, looks like you’re done.

I wonder how you sleep at night?
In the grime, the right reviles the righteous.
A man leading the blind yet not within sight,
As a mob of Christians hate and spite us.

Down

There once was a woman named Lois.
She always seemed down; at her lowest.
But she hit the number.
And never felt number.
She couldn’t tell joy from what low is.

Clark

Thought your skin was made of steel.
That bullets bounced off your chest.
You got hurt, can’t even heal.
Your body’s sore, mind won’t rest.

Your boss makes shitty workdays.
Overtime and underpaid.
Great, just makes you love work—yay!
You’re a loner, and afraid.

Don’t have a car; got no house.
And maybe the rent’s past due.
And you still don’t have a spouse.
So you stay down; all is blue.

The times are nothing but dark.
You tell yourself life’s all bad.
You’re no hero, just a Clark.
So your strife is all you had?

Suffering is part of life.
A hero helps others fight.
So when someone’s down with strife,
Even Clark can make things right.

Today’s my first day.
The genius boss does not care.
Must be my birthday.

Confederate Flag

Confederate flag,
The X should stand for cancelled.
You represent rape.

The lustful masters,
Taking advantage of us.
Dismissing their blood.

Confederate flag,
A symbol of pride, yeah right.
More like genocide.

Colonists “settled”
And the first ones here were last.
Yet the flag still flies.

Confederate flag,
You are merely a traitor.
Supporting rebels.

The Divided States,
Just because you want your slaves.
You’re dead, yet still live.
