withered yellow rose

where are your

thoughts and prayers

again

stashed conveniently 

in dark dusty rabbit holes

of hatred and bigotry

where is your concern

for children

your children seem safe

ours do not

your thoughts and prayers 

do nothing nothing at all

except to make you look

concerned

except to garner further support

from your gun greedy

needy mighty texans

please succeed

take your sanctimonious bullshit

your ted cruzing lies

your racism and small diks

succeed please

the false bravado

of the texas man

on par with big tex

the famed state fair dummy

a dummy that represents 

the hollow nature 

of chosen ignorance 

the texas republican party has chosen

as war cry

we don't give a fuk

about you

about your kids

your voting rights

free and fair elections

democracy in this republic

blown to pieces

by the arrogant stupidity

your governor

your republican maga

your false idols

strong state

strong men

does your thang go twang

every time

another innocent has to die

so you

can have your goddamn weapon

of mass destruction

how unfortunate it would be

should your shiny bright spokesperson

lose ground

roll down hill

over a willie coyote cliff

into the abysmal

deep of the deepest sea

here pal swim

swim mutherfuker

swim

what a grand land tejas is

such shame it is controlled

by texans

such shame

i am FROM texas born in waco

my family has deep roots in tejas

my family cotton farmers and ranchers they are

west of fort worth and down south in the rio grande valley

my family has deep roots in tejas

a place of 2 water fountains

signs here signs there

whites only

no meskins 

no dogs

no ni____s

a place where minorities disappear

why you might ask have i left never to return

that friends is an easy answer

tejas was fine

texas sucks

i am FROM there NO MORE

i make no apologies for my stand against the arrogance and racist values the gun loving societies of this republic embrace, nor will i change my words in order to keep this soapbox provided by another

do what you will

i wonder
will you still cling to the 2nd
if a fallen child is a child of your own? will you?

If there is no fury like that of a woman scorned, that of a son embittered comes close.
