№ 325: The Way Things Are Now

How is it
everyone's
always so sure
they have God*
on their side?
Why cannot anyone
ever acknowledge
we are only along
for the ride?
Which when it's bumpy
makes everyone grumpy
so we look
for someone to blame,
to persecute
or punch in the snoot
because being different
makes them fair game.
“Winners” and “losers”,
“perps” and “vics”,
“cowboys” and “Indians”,
“slickers” and “hicks”,
Jets vs Giants,
Mets vs Yanks,
“Mutual tolerance?
Really? NO THANKS!”
