Offended

I'm offended by your bigotry

Your ignorance and stupidity

Where on earth! is your dignity

Can't begin to give you sympathy

I have no empathy for you and your infamy

No patience for this activity

Your brain is stuck in captivity

Unashamed of this legacy

Ingrained with This negativity

Dissuade from who you claim to be

I am offended...

by these filthy, unhealthy, 

unclean, mean and hateful things

To congregate with these songs

Of hate, to seperate. America 

was never great. With putridity it brings

Prospering off of gruesome scenes

offering a noose to Swing. 

I am offended, there are so many 

unaffected. It hurts. I am inert 

that very few are kept alert

It is offensive, so immense and relentless

It is a price so expensive. An expression. 

A message that I'm sending'. I'm offended.
