White Supremacy

Let's workshop this poem about the disingenuous and dangerous theatrics built around an overblown or imaginary threat.

White Supremacy

Book deals, facile heroism,
rage catharsis, solidarity—
who could resist 
“dismantling”

that phantom: that sham 
excuse for any failure 
of the once-persecuted 
group (hooked

now on opium-den 
dispensations); 
that mongered boogeyman
we all know is bogus?
