“They are Afraid” - Oppression From the Oppressed
While I’d rather
be fishing
alcoholics
from a pickle barrel
or concerned with
the 150 million or so
extra hungry people
from C-19
mismanagement
I looked up and
saw the smoke
from the thousand
burning proxy wars
aimed squarely
at distraction
from further economic
suppression
and oppression
because milk
must be spilled
Crops must be
turned under
bodies must
be buried
Jews became afraid
as victims
Blacks became afraid
as victims
Religious people
likewise
So they push back
hard enough
to be labeled
oppressors
(Rich people
do likewise
for similar reasons)
