Lynching

Do senators like the lynchers,
good ol’ boys of yore,
and now their kindred killers
acting like before?

After the Civil War
some thought we’d banned the noose,
but Birth of a Nation ’s lore
would set more Klansmen loose.

Knights of the Blazing Cross,
they’ve Christianized white privilege—
are blessed by their blond Boss
who calls disloyalty sacrilege.

Don’t senators recall,
so anti-lynch laws stall?
