A Beat Poem


The silent majority are not silent by choice


We


One massive herd of black sheep in white shirts, bleached into uniformity by your ultraviolent Diktat glow


Noose your tie around our necks and watch us choke on that pretty string,

dragged,

screaming,

by your social ladder chain across the graves of our ancestors


They died for our sins as we die daily for yours
