In good will gesture crowds color-coded
Words stand on tiptoe to shout
Necks crane sore to watch people not like them beaten
Attacked, and crushed beneath;
Flag-waving arms that learn to hit flag-burning
Infidels glistening with spit;
Flag-waving arms stretched upwards
In support of white-minded individuals
Working to curb freedoms once fought
For by peole in picket lines, by people
On busrides, by people behind bedroom doors
By people in abortion clinics
