Problems

 

If you see conspiracies everywhere

and are filled with a constant paranoia

about people in power, or believe that

lizard people are wearing costumes

of human skin and are impersonating

members of the government all

while being pedophiles,

then you are the problem.

 

If you think Gun Control is a

“Mental Health Issue”,

you are the problem.

If you think your “right”

to carry a weapon is

more important than my right

not to get shot,

you’re the problem.

 

If you think a woman’s

right to choose what happens with her body

is an affront to your religious beliefs,

then you are the problem.

 

If you feel persecuted for

your beliefs, perhaps it’s time

to re-evaluate what those beliefs

are. If you can’t see that your belief

system is hurtful, selfish or spiteful,

then you are the problem.

 

If you believe that Jesus or God

chose anyone to “lead” America,

then you are the problem.

 

Yes.

You.

The person who will never

read this poem, because that type,

that type doesn’t read poetry.

That’s the problem.  

 

I feel like I’m just repeating myself,

shouting into the void.

That’s a problem.
