Ctrl-Alt-Right is the new emoji
with an orange face and bad hair
and red a cap saying,
A new America
A place of conflicted interests
and corporate Pinterest
accounts that mark Eurocentric
as newly oppressed
So they took back something
they never lost,
and we blame them
and they blame us
The conserves drink their tea
party like its 1899
and the neolibs cry into
Kale chips talking about…
I never thought this would
be a country of the less free
because my 401k is fat
and it will never really effect me
They call it the New America
I call it the old America renewed
because you can paint shit
red or blue and it will still be shit.
You can stuff it in a ballot box filled with hope
and it will still be shit.
and some of you are surprised
like we haven’t been telling you
all about this shit since Travyon died
LIKE we haven’t been telling you
all about this shit since Katrina
LIKE WE haven’t been telling you
all about this shit since Diallo died
LIKE WE HAVEN’T been telling you
all about this shit since the L.A. Riots
LIKE WE HAVEN’T BEEN TELLING you
all about this shit since the Central Park 5
LIKE WE HAVEN’T BEEN TELLING YOU
all about this… shit I’ve lost count.
(I needed to get this out)
