Haystacks of Hate

 Image result for straw that broke the camel's back meme

I think Donald Trump was right when he said he could shoot
Someone and his core supporters wouldn't give a hoot.
All the current polling data fills me with despair...
He just stabbed the country in the heart. They still don't care.

I was so naive to think that this would be the straw -
Charlottesville must break the camel's back, from what I saw.
Yet the polls are showing his supporters think Trump's great,
Even here in Massachusetts' mostly liberal state.

I was proud of Boston's counter-protest Saturday;
More than 40,000 people met the KKK
And the white supremacists who came to make a speech
Back, behind the barricades, and safely out of reach.

From the stage the neo-Nazis uttered not a squeak.
Not one chose to exercise their right to freely speak
But, they're all so brave on-line (or when they have a gun)
Now that there's a President in office like this one.
