Questions For a Bootlicker

Will you sympathize with the fascists
when the boot is on your neck?

Will you lick the leather?

Will you cry out for your child
when its ripped from your arms?

Will you realize that labeling a human
illegal is the language of enabling fascism?

Will you hear the cries of
traumatized children in cages?

Will you lose the same sleep
as their mothers?

Will your blood boil as politicians
flash plastic smiles, passing laws
to drop bombs because death
is far more profitable than prosperity?

Will you be able to identify the enemy
when he appears on your T.V. screen?

Will you embrace your neighbor regardless of gender, color, or creed
when the blood reaches your streets?

Will you get up, stand up?
Can you be counted to join the fight?
Will you do what's right?
