Nay To The Kneel(6/7/2020)
the gesture
seems odd
now
especially
with the latest
outrage being
a death
due to a knee
on the neck
besides
we don’t
need
a bunch
of pampered
overpaid
overplayed
professional
playground bullies
to preach to us
about the inequities
of social injustice
we certainly
don't need
their overpublicized
poses
let us hear
from the
oppressed
the abused
the falsely
accused
instead
at least
the ones
not already
murdered
they
have something
to say
we would
weigh
their words
a bit more
heavily
but of
course
they do not
have
the name
recognition
the public
adoration
the clamoring
following
at least
they don’t
yet
as they so
justly
deserve
