RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: VIOLENCE
Angry White Men
Angry white men rule the world
It’s something we all know
Like boys will follow pretty girls
They let their anger show
An angry white man, another killing
A sense of self-aggrandizement
Mass murder considered thrilling
The cult of disenfranchisement
I wonder what the world would be
Without these crazy white men
Who think: this world belongs to me
Their anger is their only friend
They live inside a world of rage
They can never understand
They aren’t the center of the stage
Or the leader of the band
They live their lives in silence
Until the bubble bursts
An explosion of crude violence
The angry white man curse
All because they don’t belong
They’ve learned to hate themselves
Everyone they know is wrong
So they send them all to hell
