Where Are They?

Where Are They?

Where are the Kings? [MLK jr.]
Like the one who gave the speech?
It was about his dreams
Preach! My brother preach!

Where are the Jackies? [JFK]
Let's go to the moon
We need to get there real fast please
I hope we get there soon

Where are the Malcolms? [Malcolm x]
As-salaam Walaikum
He could change the outcome
I know I'm not mistaken

Where are the Gandhies? [Mahatma]
Ahimsa is what we need
Like they do by the Ganges
There is no need to bleed

Where are the Bobbies? [R. Kennedy]
He surely was a great one
Didn't take money from the lobbyist
Not like all these fake ones

Where are the Lincolns? [Abraham]
Free us from this bondage
Like him without blinkin'
That's why we pay him homage

Bullets took their life
On our very worst days
Brains all over Kennedy's wife
As they drove away

10,000 homicides 
Every God damn year
We need some people pesticides
There are mass shooters everywhere

"From my cold dead hands"
Says the NRA
Blood soaks the lands
We might as well take their guns away

What we got is Trump now
What were people thinking?
He's dumber than a stump somehow
He's making the white trash really start stinking

Go back where you came from
What the hell is that?
I know I've heard it before
Oh yeah, it's a bigot chant

He couldn't be more racist
Even if he tried
We must face this 
White pride is white pride [supremacy]

We need our migrants
How else will we eat?
I'm tired of this tyrant
Not giving them blankets to sleep

Give them back their babies
What the hell is wrong with him?
He's worse than a dog with rabbies
Foaming on his chin

Time to make a stand
Or cowards we will be
I've taken all I can
I've seen about all I can see

Anyone but Trump
Is the one for me
Time to kick this chump
Out of Washington D.C.

Hello Carey...

Did you read his manifesto?

Word for word?

Perhaps you didn't do the Math...

He's had these feelings for 7 years...

2019-7 is what?

If you cross borders illegally anywhere in the World you would probably be appalled if they arrested you and returned you back...

Let's not forget that Congress made these Laws now they're complaining of their own Laws to get Elected...

Vote for anyone be prepared for their promises...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hello, and yeah I read the manifesto. I can do math and I realize the 21 year old kid would have been 14 7 years ago. I seriously doubt he had the same feelings and ideas then. I got a question. Why did he wait 7 years if he felt that way all along? You will notice he wrote about a sense of urgency to carry out the attack. The "problems" he mentioned were getting worse by the day, week, month, and year according to him and he could have bought his gun at 18. Thanks for the input though. I don't really wish to debate the issue on my poetry wall. The poem is not for some people. I knew that when I wrote it.

Hello Carey...

​​​​​​I'm not in his head but, maybe he fought with himself about it...

Maybe, he hoped someone would notice he needs help...

Only he has the answers to all the questions...

I'm glad he surrendered so he could live and tell his story...

I'm sure they're going to extradite the death penalty...

They'll probably be a Book or Movie about it in the near future...

Hugs again...
