Before the Fall
The problem
With you
Telling me
Of your disdain
For other people
Is that everywhere
I turn
There you are
Espousing
The rhetoric
Of the inclusionist
And keeping rhythm
To the banging
Of the drum
Of the war monkey
As new
And old
Flags wave
Your demands
Shift recklessly:
To be heard
And equal.
No matter
The price.
And a myriad
Of other things
That have never
Existed throughout
Human history
Where the final
Arguments
Will ultimately
Be remembered
By no one
Courtesy
Of all of us
Going
Full tilt batshit
As the world
Lights up
And burns
