"Each of us can dream up a utopia..."
Each of us can dream up a utopia,
Build a wall on the border, seek closure…
But the best way to deal with a phobia
Is through personal contact, exposure.
There are assholes among us - cowardly
Catholic, Jewish and Muslim assholes…
And not all are extremists outwardly,
Some will pose as our priests and pastors.
When you catalog men and paint them
With a broad brush for better visuals,
The results are just poor entertainment -
See the assholes as individuals.
Whether white, black, Latino or Asian,-
Slums and palaces, shanties and castles,
Different continents and generations -
All produce individual assholes.
Cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians,
Left wing, right wing, conservative, liberal,
Assholes come with a range of opinions
And convictions, but always immiscible.
Some are straight; some are gay or lesbian,
Some are acting like assholes for fun,
Take a look at the passing pedestrians –
Any one of them could be the one.
So we group them, - it’s rather habitual, -
And evade them, avoiding the hassle,
But if assholes could see individuals, -
There’d be less individual assholes.
