Blame Everyone! That's The Trick! Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Blame Everyone! That's The Trick!

Rating: 2.8


I was going to preface this with an apology
to the hand-wringers and leftists
who submit whines and complaints
about living in the freest nation
on this green earth!

But no! I thought.
If anything, whiners and complainers
need to justify their grumbling
and plead for understanding!

Those damned politicians!
That cursed President Bush!
The racists that run the whole show!
All those rich folks and their sycophants!
The rednecks with their cornpone bigotry!
Lynchings fifty years ago occur metaphorically now!
It's all the same though! Words have consequences!

Words have consequences!
Indeed they do. A steady diet
of faulty thinking leads to a corruption
of the language and a destruction of
civilization in the end.
