Barcelona, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
It didn't take 48
Hours for Bernie
To condemn
The baseball attack
There was no hesitation
No equivocation
No promotion
No dog whistle tact
He wanted to wait
For the facts
But took no time
Condeming the Barcelona attack
What about "Nazi"
Or "KKK"
Has any redeaming value
In any way?
Of the far right ISIS
One would be right to say
Right to condemn
In every way
A car is a car
Murder is murder
Skin tone nor religion
Is an excuse for either
They use Islam
Here the bible
Justifying violence
It makes no difference
I am tired of
The horrible fallacy
It is about heritage
No it is about fascism and slavery
Moving the statues
Is not the attempt
To erase or ignore
Horrible events
We can still teach
That slavery was wrong
Just like the Nazis
Like the Hocaust Museum
What we cannot do
What we must avoid
Is to leave those monuments
In the context of glory
We have history classes
And history books
Just like we have films
Of concentration camps
There was nothing at all
Redeaming one bit
About what the South fought for
Just like the Nazis did
If you can take
A rightful stand
Against the violence of ISIS
Quoting the Koran
The you can understand
Our KKK and Neo Nazis
Living in our homeland
Should also be strongly condemend
A car is a car
Dead is dead
In both cases
Religion was used
You can find
In American Nazis
And KKK
Quoting religious purists
White nationalism
Pandering to Germans
Is no different
Than American Purists
And you sick fucks
Take a DNA test
You will find out
You are not as pure as you think
Barcelona
And Charlottesville
A car is a car
No matter who kills
ISIS quotes the Koran
Hilter was a Christian
Slavery was bad
No way to condone it
It isn't a matter
Of banning religion
But pointing out
It is what it stems from
My empathetic left
Whom I value emensly
Should understand
They are not my target
Sure I do
See religious politics
Leads to horrible
Events as such
But it is the same book
Malala uses
That Bin Laden values
That leads to different conclusions
The same can be said
For the Trump voting Dukes
Supporting the KKK
And Nazi loons
In no way
I am linking them to
The empathetic left
But it is the same book
A car is a car
No matter where
Slavery was bad
And the Nazis were too
