He's Not Like That - Exploring Brokenness: Poetry on Pain, Anger, and Human Flaws

He’s Not Like That

Spewing from his mouth,
A most foul string
Of words, assembled and
Projected with vitriol
At the object of his hatred.

Exposed as a frothing bigot,
He goes into standard
Damage control mode,
Insisting he’s not like that,
That he respects all people.

Things progress as expected,
He minimizes his misconduct
And begins whining about how
He and his family have become
Targets of negativity.
