Good People
Some words
never fade
They stick
in your mind
Where you
don’t want to look
And wait
for a reckoning
A moment
of clarity
When
finally as if by magic
It all
makes sense
Good
people on both sides
Neo Nazis
and civil rights protesters
Swastikas
against peace symbols
Advocacy
against insults
Reason
against threats
Resistance
against aggression
A woman
crushed for taking a stand
Good
people on both sides
A man
killed for being black
Good
people and bad apples
As the
nation explodes in rage
Our
president yields to silence
Except to
encourage violence
Nothing
against the racist extreme
Nothing
against the white supreme
Blame it
on antifa: the anti-fascists
Blame it
on the leftist scourge
Get tough
against the mob
Good
people on both sides
Nothing
about the man who died
Nothing to
heal the nation’s divide
Nothing but
MAGA pride
Good
people on our side
The others
are all terrorists
You know what
we do with terrorists
Lock em
up!
Crush em
like cockroaches!
Stuff em
in a cage!
Teach em a
lesson they’ll take
To the
grave!
Some words
never fade
Some folks
never change
Some are
elected president
To remind
us of our shame
