RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR
El Paso Massacre
A young white killer
Walks into an El Paso Walmart
Six hundred miles away from home
Opens fire with his semi-automatic
Killing 23 wounding 23 more
Easy as mowing the lawn
The killer believed that Mexicans
(and blacks and Jews and others)
Were a part of the Great Replacement
A grand conspiracy to supplant
The pale with darker races
He is proof that thoughts combined
With weapons of mass destruction
Have the power to erase many lives
In the time it takes to tip your hat
There is no Great Replacement
There is no white genocide
But there is pathological insanity
Born of ignorance fear and prejudice
The world is changing faster
Than enfeebled minds can grasp
There is fear of others
Fear of weakness
Fear of being swept away
By unseen hands
And forces greater than
There is fear and there are weapons
There are those who take advantage
And there are those who prove their worth
By driving six hundred miles
To murder Mexicans
In a Walmart
