it’s on the rise
so they said to me ...
can you believe it?
so i told them ...
the nerve!

what are they thinking?
some people!
We are the reasonable ones
but They
are idiotic, stupid bogans
greedy arrogant money-grabbing capitalists
or non believing infidels
we are quick to form our clubs
our churches of belief
secure our self-righteousness
fomenting hate for others
we reinforce our togetherness
with short hash-tagged rants
we are bonded in our contempt
for those other miscreants
we forget our humanity
and squabble over scraps
while our planet dies
we draw territorial maps
we reinforce our borders
forgetting what our wars have done
to our fellow humans
what has our fighting won?
self interest media
helps to congeal
a fake ****** mess
a long long way from real
so spare the indignation
open minds and hearts
it’s only what we gave
that’s remembered when we pass

noticing seemingly more self righteous indignation in the streets
