Patriot Actā¦

Surreal screams, and
Confusion reigns supreme!
Blood, mostly O+,
puddles ankle-deep,
Everywhereā
As if crimson rained
from rag dolls strewn
about the street
a 40mph wakeup call
from fat, flabby high
fructose corn syrup
Hope and change sleep;
Yes, we can
Kill children whose parents were stupid
enough to name them Collateral Damage
and Civilian Casualty
Infatuated with the Fuhrer,
the neo-Nazi
sliced his silver-grey Challenger
Through marchers like Robert E. Lee
slicing the south on Traveler ā
then backed that thing up
Getān the hell outta there
Heās a hero; itāll
take an all white
Jury all 30min.
To see alternative
Facts in this matter:
Negroz and handlers,
Seeking to āget paid,ā
Played the race card,
blame gameāand lostā
Hurling themselves on the
Hood of his muscle car!
Adding insult to injury,
now theyāre spoutinā the T-wordā
Boyās traumatized enough without
Nappy-headed fools talkinā
Terror!
Damn fools know no
Terrorists come
From the Buckeye State,
Keystone State, Lone Star State,
or Land of Lincolnā
Rag heads, diaper heads,
sand niggers, camel jockeys
come from a Stan:
Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Jusā Name a Stanā¦
