Freedom of Contempt

Contempt is baked into American society I suppose —

Contempt for others, giving you

The audacity to take from others you barely know.

It’s like a cyclical theme of sorts

Black Friday pounding the streets hitting the on sale sheets

Grabbing tvs and overeating

Just hope you don’t get hit by a lady driving an SUV

Through your turkey trot

Or dare go dancing in a gay club

Or see a movie

Or go to Walmart

Lest you be the next victim of contempt

At the hands of someone exercising

Their various freedoms
