WESTERN MUSE

 

This may possibly hark back to the Old West or before,

Iconic figure,

Larger than life

And larger than all

Especially the adversaries.

Good guys wear White

ARE white

Pure as snow.

Ramrod straight

Chiseled

And larger than all.

GOLDEN BOYS!!!

 

John Wayne six four

Clint Eastwood six four

Buford Pusser six six

James Arness as Matt Dillon six six

Bumper Morgan

Shoe size 13EEE

Schwarzenegger mass of muscle

 

Bad guys wear black

Can be black

or

Brown

or

Red

or

Yellow

or

Foreign

Foreign object!

Or even a white

not like the icon

due to lack of size or Aryanism or patrimony or other.

Smaller dark guy

black hats

dark hair

dark complexion

accent

(and we don’t mean the seasoning)

sometimes crippled in some way

such as blind or disabled

or speech impediment

or even

smaller

NOT ramrod straight

of nose

or feature

or complexion.

The Black sheep.

Not like the picture perfect

Larger than Life icons

that continues on to this day

with Jack Reacher six five

Self-confident!

You’d be self-confident too

If you knew you were endowed

With

ALL THE ADVANTAGES!

 

To say nothing of course

about Superman

and Shazam! Captain Marvel.

Of course self-confidence

Must come by decimating

Self-esteem

Of all the little people

(namely anyone not like the Icon)

As though little more than pesky ants

Crawling all over the picnic.

 

No wonder six five

Johannes Mehserle

is called a hero by some delusionary folks

for shooting an unarmed black man

barely half his size.

We're talking about ending bullying...but are we REALLY against ALL BULLYING???...

A FAILED PROJECTION OF TRANSFERANCE

A recent failure in the art of projection

was connected by some character in a column

from a major periodical

who declared that black women were

in a

word,

“unattractive.”

Seems no matter how hard the effort was made,

it just

would

not

work.

Ugliness just doesn’t budge so easy

from the one who tries to project it from oneself.

Just ask the psycho from today,

Master Satochi Kanazawa.

TO A NEWLY SUSPENDED HOMO SAPIEN

“Cheer up now,

it’s going to be all right.

Okay, so you’re no longer welcome at school

And everyone’s turned against you.

Turning out policies aimed at you.

There’s even a widespread video out consoling your…playmates.

The tide’s really turned against you, it’s clear.

But look on the bright side

(and there’s really more of one than you may realize).

Maybe you’re on the outs in your most preferred domain,

but look at what you still have,

where you can still go!

Why, you can still wow then dead on TV

be it drama or comedy or especially RE-AL-I-TEE

(just ask Gregory House,

or Simon,

or Gordon Ramsay,

J.R. Ewing, Omarosa or Judge Judy).

And you’re still quite welcome on the big screen too.

Some fragile souls may wish you in the funny farm,

but try the funny pages of any newspaper

and consult J.C. Dithers, Sergeant Snorkel or Bucky Katt.

Of course if you wish to stay in the real world,

the police, the military and the prison guards

are practical smorgasbords for you.

Or get this:

You can run for politicians

(perhaps even for school board)

and find love from the people

via zero tolerance, rigid standards and officers in the schools

and lockdowns plus crackdowns and tough ‘love.’

And there’s always the corporate CEO!

See now, see?

There’s still plenty of places for you to feel welcome.

And who knows,

you might even be able to implement ways

for you to become welcome once more in the schools.

You might even invent a Bluto award

and make yourself the first recipient!

We can hear your acceptance speech now:

‘Hey,

bullies

are

people

too.’”
