There are on average two mass shootings per day
In this country. We are already violent
And we need education on our history.
Now in Florida children are taught slavery
Was just fine even though people suffered torment.
We were born with injustice and that’s just our way.

The insane circus taking place clearly reflects
The ill health of this nation’s heart. Threats are the way
That people now communicate. The biggest one
Is of civil war where everyone has a gun
Like the wild west. It’s hard to find good things to say
About us. We’re a story not all that complex.

The south never conceded. We’re at war right now
And will be until we change fundamentally.
War will be waged in courtrooms and legislatures
As belief in a workable process endures.
The republicans are the confederacy
As the union becomes democratic somehow.

But the earth is round. The orange buffoon is guilty.
Vaccines work and the Holocaust really occurred.
The south will not rise up again. Misogyny
And racism will not take over this country.
All proud oath keeping bigots are only one third
Of the populace which brings some relief to me.
