PSALM 2: THE SANCTITY OF PREJUDICE

I.

The fool says in his heart, "There is no difference."
Such are naive; they would break bread with a black man; they would build huts for a Nicaraguan; they would marry their children to gypsies and musicians.
Their minds are open like exposed wounds, festering grounds for the bacteria of thought and virtue.

II.

Glory be to the Nazis (despite their poor taste in uniforms)!
O come! let us look at their achievements:
the gas stove
the swastika tattoo,
the human lampshade.
The benefits of Aryan supremacy are as plentiful as the corpses at Auschwitz.

III.

The Third Reich shall rise again!
among the gangs of gun-toting skin-heads in every city and town in Good-Old-God-Bless-America!
in the writing on the restroom walls of our institutions of higher education!
and through militant youth groups sponsored by the Southern Baptist Church and the KKK!
The weak and disparate will no longer complicate the social order.

It is much easier to stand against something you don't understand, than for it.

July, 1989
