DC Lament

My people, you are.

Not only rude,
but deliberately rude.

Not only clueless,
but deliberately clueless.

In our pain
at your exclusion of us,
you mock us.

Showing all the compassion,
and integrity,
and principle,
of little boys
who pull wings off of flies –
because they can!

And so we proclaim you,
as did our forefathers,
to their people,
before us…
Enemies in War,
In Peace, Friends.
