Invidious

Trayvon.
Mike Mike.
Eric Garner.
Matthew Shepherd.
Charleston.
Orlando.
Sterling.
Castille.
The black man
hanging in
Piedmont Park
today,
after Klan activity
last night,
being called a
suicide
before the cold
body’s cut
down.
There is nothing
more to
say
to this!
No way to
quantify
no way to
qualify
it!
Nothing to
suggest.
No policy changes.
No band-aids.
No investigations we
ALL know the
outcome of!
No more tinkering
around the
Goddamn
edges!
When in the course of
inhuman events,
it becomes necessary
for even an
old hippie
peacenik to say: Enough!
It is time for
Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,
Arabs, gays, women,
and allies
of ALL oppressed
people
to issue a warning:
Listen,
Wealthy, Anglo-Saxon
Protestant,
straight, white
male,
patriarchal
America,
We have had
enough!
Too Goddamn much,
in fact!
NO MAS!
