Beautiful Day?
For those of us happy here
Those who’ve read some history written before 1960
And know the danger of idiot mobs
Crying in despair about something they can’t even explain
Today is a beautiful day
For the rest, it’s time for screaming and printing t-shirts
spitting on people who wear a different hat
hating people they’ve never met
Who helped your grandma when her car broke down?
If the situation was as bad as you think it is
You would be building a railroad across Alaska
with an axe and a hammer
stealing bread from the sick
quivering at the sight of the whip
Today is a beautiful day!
