Ohm On The Flag
Shit, I'm pissed
but
I'm a pacifist and a poet
so in these times
I suggest we get
metaphorically violent.
God damn it!
I want a riot of the mind, People!
I want to see some
aggressive intelligence out there.
Just the most viscous set of data and stat keeping that makes sure that everywhere the ignorant
or the slick liars step is a badland.
Come on!
Let's start trading blows
with the easy excuses.
Throwing elbows to
"It doesn't affect you."
Uppercuts and cheap shots
aimed at the back of,
"Stop complaining"'s fat head.
A fucking bat to the shins of
"It's not racism. It's about security."
Fuck it!
I want to see
the bloody murder of apathy.
I want us to take out its entrails
and use them to set up a line,
a barricade between us
and those that can't see
past their own shadows.
When that's done, burn it!
We can all roast marshmallows
by its carcass set a blaze.
Everyone of every creed,
color and class holding hands singing Bohemian Rhapsody
in unison over apathy's
final screams.
And when the last
piano note sounds
all that will be left will be the ashes that empathy will rise out of.
I want all my sisters,
all the strong women
that fill this world,
to grab misogyny by the dick
and just rip it off.
Feed it to the dog
and take its balls
and shove it down its throat
til orange turns red...
then blue.
Then me and the rest
of the mismatched, misfits,
fuck ups, bastards, rejects and etc
can get decked out in black
and do a dance on its grave
while at the same time passing by
is a glorious rainbow parade.
The grand marshal leading the way
with an ohm on the flag.
That organized defiance
can start on any street.
So let's pick one
and start this shit.
