For the time that had to pass for me to be able to think
For all the years bullshit was shoveled en masse down my throat
For the inexhaustible ignorance that surrounded me daily
For the stupidity that permeated the hick town societal castes
that dictated the empowered and powerless the same redneck way
For the embers of a still smoldering cross when I was seven
For the bigotry that divided my grandparents
forging and destroying me at the same time
I’ve protested two wars
I’ve stood up for the Lumbee
and championed the Black
We women, though, will never fucking overcome
Is ignorance bliss?
yes
for me
at one time
it was
fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

"what a long, strange trip it's been"
