Lightening Up
They burden the world with their tedious
presence and with a litany of faults so
numerous they are inexhaustible, far too
many to count and in their aggregate account
for the disdain in which they are held and
always have been, for who among the world's
inhabitants wishes to live among people so
cunning and forever scheming that there can
be no peace, no rest from concerns that the
world may soon succumb to the plots they
conceive and strive to achieve to the known
detriment of all others. Yet the most irritating
aspect of having them live alongside others
is habitual whining of being discriminated
against as though their manner doesn't invite
just that very thing. For they have no sense of
humour, none whatever, and among their
many other faults is their unforgiving sour
sense of entitlement that slights never come
their way, even when those they accuse of
the age-old bugbear of anti-Semitism inform
them that the messages they take to be racist
are merely attempts at humour and they really
should you know, make an effort to lighten up.
