“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)
