"We're Not All That Different"

(Some more so than others?)
(Must that be remedied?)

Some do walk on four legs. and some do fly –
In ways such as these some do differ from you and me.
Is that any reason we should bid them bye-bye?
In other respects there's great similarity.

Like two peas in a pod? Maybe not quite,
But why does Ringling Bros. think that gives them the right
To train, kill, or maim; to Lord themselves over others,

Whose only fault was to have had different mothers?

Soon it won't just be legs that make the difference.
It'll be what side of town? Which side of the fence?
What political party? What nationality?
Will they remain free or in captivity?

How that gets resolved's a function of how demented
The dissenters are over what each one has vented.
Demented like Rob Woodall and Wayne LaPierre?
Innocent bystanders aren't going to wnat to be there.

With them blazing away at whomever,
     with their thirty round clips –
Those new twenty-gauge shotguns really are pips…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
