Outrageously

it is failure and folly

ignoring folly and failure

the flame wars will purify you

don't be scared

what's worth defending?

all men? sexist

rapists

all white people?

racists

blacks?

thieving n*****s

thug bullies

and mexicans?  those damn

closet rapists

infiltrators

outlanders!!!

pathological exploiters?

wide and ubiquitous

wage gaps and white privilege

is it really so prevalent?

(don't question it)

all these god damn

cis gendered mutants

we must be transphobic

(all of us)

maybe it's just a stupid video game

garry's mod

grand theft auto

maybe you're just a trend

(professional victims)

who even talks like that?

for real?

who really?

anyway, ignore me

lets have some more culture wars

with the regressive c***s

the empty headed

fat on argument thin on facts

it does amuse me 

you do employ me

sjw's

pretty little kitties

passionately

f*****g anarchy

into a trendy staged rage

dying for that sweet sweet victim authority

on pedestals surrounded by idiots

professing victimhood

professionally screaming

to censure enemies

by any means neccessary

hiding safely in controlled spaces

where no one questions

those unicorn intentions

because....

that'd be racist

right?

(i've yet to mention the muslim)

aloha! Snackbar

　

"my only answer to manufactured outrage

will be to act outrageously"

　

Reviews

[Kathrin S]

Liked it very much. The two opening lines are really great, love the wordplay. Also, I'm always a fan of short sentences/lines.

I don't really have anything critical to say. I guess with poetry, more so than with short stories, either you enjoy them and they resonate with you, or they don't. This one is certainly thought-provoking.

[Davidgeo]

Thanks Kathrin. That's all it is meant to be - thought provoking and nothing more. Maybe a little humorous as well.... in a tongue and cheek kind of way.

[Barbara Walker]

Bravo! Bravo!I am giving you a standing ovation. But not outrageously!

[Davidgeo]

You're always so nice to me Barbara. I'll never understand it.

[Barbara Walker]

Well I don't give it away freely, so you must have earned it!

[Davidgeo]

That's what she said...but I say 12 year old blended scotch whiskey is a hell of a thing.

[Barbara Walker]

It does work wonders and I can claim that I didn't know what I was doing!

[Davidgeo]

You and your exclamation points...

[Barbara Walker]

Oh, I know. I don't think I could write if it weren't for them, it would stifle me. And you don't want to know what a stifled Barbara looks like. It isn't pretty.
