Disturbing And Senseless



Disturbing.
Pointless and senseless.
Is this ongoing nonsense.
Permitted to continue the spreading of it,
Throughout urban cities.
Affecting quiet communities.
Never before to have had existed.

'Hmmm.
I see.
And just how long,
Have you noticed this disturbing...
Senseless nonsense?'

Well...
I began to notice my gardener,
Beginning to have issues when I called him...
'Boy!'
And those colored people,
Who moved in across the street.
Took offense when I had a brick wall built,
On MY property.
With a sign lit in flashing neon lights.
Clearly stated...
'Unleashed dogs, baboons and other monkeys  
Do not trespass!'

'And you believe,
Your insulting behavior should be accepted?'

Me?
I didn't insult anyone.
I do my best to stay politically correct.
When I left bananas,
On my new neighbors doorstep.
I expected at least some appreciation,
To me shown.
And I regard that as disrespectful and rude.

'So far are you from reality.'

What are you talking about?
It took me less than a minute,
To express my acceptance and approval.
I am appalled that you would think of me,
To a bigot with racist inclinations.
Afterall,
I am a law abiding patriot of these...
United States.
And never will I claim to be a zookeeper!
