Zaheed Patel - Pyrrhic victory.

White people
Black people
Yellow people
Brown people
Red people.

Homeless people
Humourless people
People who want to impress people
People who want to undress people.

Tired people
Wired people
Whacked people
Jacked-up people
Cracked-up people

People who want to thrill other people
People who want to kill other people

Displaced people everywhere
People crying in the streets, with
People dying in the streets
People shooting in the streets, with
People looting in the streets
People drug-dealing in the streets, with
People prostituting in the streets

People shaking heads all in despair-

Just what is the matter with all you faceless baseless
Prozac-addicted prosperity afflicted
warmongering religious and racial whoremongering
politicized pop culturally anethesthitised American
people?
