HIGH HORSES POEM

OBAMA, YOU AND YOUR HORSES ARE HIGH 

He said 
         Get off your high horse 
because how dare we be upset at ISIS,
how unthinkable to be irritated
that children are being buried alive in Iran.

He said,
         Remember what the Christians did
as if we have it coming to us and it's the Muslim's turn,
as if parents in the Middle East are responsible
for every historic, cruel act of irresponsible “Christians”.

Tonight a four year old girl in Syria will watch
daddy be skinned alive. His eyeballs will pop out
of his skull when he is hung from
her pink swing set.

Does this poem upset you?
               You should get off your high horse.
Besides, you should have seen what Robert Browning wrote.
After all, two wrongs make a right.
