IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT
if I was feeling charitable
I might say
it’s not your fault
you’ve been groomed for this
twisted into this shape
by forces beyond your control
you can’t be blamed
for a lack of empathy
you can’t be called a liar
if you believe your own lies
and I believe
you could pass a polygraph
I’m sure of it
they say it’s common
among those
deemed batshit crazy
so it’s not you...
but the ones
who saw their hopes and dreams for America
reflected in that dog ugly mug of yours
and now dig in their heels
while you spout invective
they’d have lynched
the previous guy for
and I mean that literally
