Some prefer to make
Excuses
For his verbal and physical
Abuses
Against the people he
Reduces
To those he thinks of as totally
Useless

Some prefer to look the
Other way
Whether black or white or
Even grey
While letting him have
His say
Because tomorrow is
Another day

Some prefer to be his
Sycophants
And in so doing perform
A dance
That’s as delicate as
A legion of ants
Once inside of somebody’s
Pants

Some prefer to pretend
Not to see
What is plain as day to you
And me
They just want to claim
Deniability
So they can act as if they’re
Blame free
