Boycott this poem for its candid display of words that infiltrate your much needed safe space Boycott this poem for its recognition of only two genders I'm talking about Adam and Eve you assholes Halloween is a once a year occasion Boycott this poem for verification of the decline in poetry the only people reading this shit are insomniacs in need of a sleep aid Boycott this poem it's a product of a white male who doesn't subscribe to what you say most poets are left leaning hypocrites who combat misperceived fascism with fascism ANTIFA is a terrorist organization Boycott this poem for pointing out the obvious there's plenty of parallels when it comes to the Alt-right and Nation of Islam but you won't see any stupid ass white people attacking Louis Farrakhan
