Snippets of monologues pick up at various rundown bars. They exist out there.
First two stanzas are mine the rest is reportage.
Aftermath “WARNING DISTURBING”
My Glock and my God
its bitter downright rancid
This toxic dough ball
crow and eagle feathers
Their pinions barbs
That scar my throat
He’s flown south now
Q Anon’s not to be found
The uprising is a party tale
From a bad nights drinking
All this ammo and nowhere
To spend it
He’s the white guy who made
Eastwood’s Grand Torino
Shot the black kid
On Seven Mile and John R
In an F250 drive by
On a July Friday night
No one cared Detroit
Had 800 murders
They tell me
Heston wasn’t Moses
Audie Murphy was a psychopath
John Wayne didn’t go to war
Andy and Mickey Rooney
Weren’t my dad’s friends
That small brown man
Sittin behind a plexiglas wall
At the Seven Eleven
Says I have to wear
A mask and stand 10 feet back
While his son who works three
Jobs takes my nephew’s
Because he went deer hunting
On opening day after
Standing in the Capitol
Rotunda taking a selfie
That landed him in jail
They want me to pay
For folks who won’t work
So they can be just like me
My rights are mine and
No one else’s and I’ll die
To protect them
Those high rise folks just
Don’t understand Scott’s
Turf builder and never will
So stay off my street away
From my town and out
Of my state
My Daddy tol my about
His first kill in the Nam
She was twelve he thinks
First we shot her Cong grandad
He was stopping us from
Pourin gas on his rice cache
How’d he know they were
VC... hell..black Panama’s
Sides they all look a like
No poor folks in Northern
Michigan some got more
Than others but we make up
By huntin and fishin on state
Land no welfare here...proud
Of that
