!.!.!.What You Lookin At Boy!.!.!.!?

The dudes outside of town
are whippin’ the boy to a pulp
and yellin’ to the fields
"you mother-freakkin faggiiit !"

Madly, he twists in tattooed vices
begs to tight wrangler chokes
while they, in spite of one too many,
are keeping ‘ a’holda that boy!.

They wedge him up against a
post and pistol-whip his screams,
dropping to earth
with shredded pieces of his face!.

His mom "I love you" trickled
crimson from lips that were!.
His tears are prairie rains
to dying memories :

“My son came home from
college that January night!.
He met those men
at a bar
they offered him a ride!.

From their truck they dragged
him, tied him to that fence!.
They stripped him bare
and beat him, hanging there
half dead!.

They discovered his body
I’ll never forget that day
my murdered son a martyr!.
I pray
these hate crimes
end”!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It must be terrible to hate your fellow man to much that you feel you can do thinks like this!.

Story Time: I was part of a mob once!. We went out into the night looking for the enemy, we called them the United States Marine Corps!. They had accidentally killed a Navy man the day before and we wanted revenge!. There were no Marines in Subic City that night so we went looking for anybody from the USS Ranger!. We'd make them pay!. They were absent as well!. Then we decided to look for group from any ship other than the USS Badger!. We'd show them!. We couldn't find any strangers to fight with!. Then the deck hands decided that it was the engineers that had let us down!. We decided to beat them up!. They scattered!. All that was left was the Operations Division guys, which meant that Radiomen were evil and should die!. They ran away!. Soon, the only ones left were the Radarmen, 5 angry guys!. We beat each other up then had to stand next to each other everyday for the next nine months!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
