Bolts And Nuts Loose



Do you notice anything different,
About our climb taken that began...
At a slow upward pace?

Many with money to have it and status had.
Given not to earn either.
Will not often confess to admit,
Their life to live it...
Was more for them,
A hand me down experience.

Being in this position,
Many begin to be taught how to discriminate.
And the various uses of bigotry and hatred.
When effectively done,
Within listening distance...
Of various diverse ethnic races.

'Excuse me.
Perhaps you did not hear my question.
Do you notice any difference made,
In our climb taken that began...
Slow but once moving upward.
Now speeding downhill.
As if bolts and nuts,
Have been purposely loosened...
From our horse pulled covered wagon.'

'Ahhh...
Isn't it wonderful.
Finally we have been detached,
From the ones...
Trying to take our quality of life away.
With all that talk about ethnic diversity.
And the teaching of critical race theories.'

'Yeah.
Finally our being in this covered wagon.
Detached from the power of horses.
And rolling backward speeding downhill.
Will prove to show them just who we are!'

'If anyone believes,
That can change our quality of life...
We will prove just how to do that done!'
