white grievance

It is too offensive

To repeat any of it here.

I have heard this racist talk all my life

And I hate it right back.


I have given up reasoning with them

Who are fearful of losing their privilege

Claiming that they are victims

 And defending killer cops


Now their insistence on their freedom

To put others around them at risk  

Declaring their right to personal choice

Twists that slogan into the opposite


Resistance to mandates threatens others

Knowing masks and vaccines save lives.

In this country the flag wavers celebrate

With impunity for their antisocial behavior
