My analysis:

This poem is poorly written, poorly punctuated, and poorly focused. The author needs to go back and reconsider their phrasing and flow of the poem. I really don’t consider it a poem in any classical or abstract sense either.

1/10 will not read again.

Timmy, age 8

How long will the American People tolerate the lowering of standards everywhere in America? Such vulgarity imposed on children? Violence in the streets? A press that cannot be trusted? A military whose mission is social engineering, not national defence? Corruption at all levels of government? Corruption of the voting process?

How much more will the American People tolerate?

How low must standards descend?

Americans will tolerate it as long as the internet works and fast food joints are open. ‘Conservatives’ don’t fight, and I mean literally, for ideological reasons anymore. The left does. That’s why they win and we lose. It’s very simple.

I remember a few notable books in 7th and 8th grade English class back in 1963-1965...
1. “Mythology” by Edith Hamilton
2. “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo
3. “The Yearling” by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Standards seem to have fallen a bit.

I wish I had our entire reading list from those years.

The Issaquah Middle School teacher and the entire school administration should be held accountable for this child abuse, and a court injunction should be issued preventing all of them from being within 100 yards of a child under 16 years of age.

Not very long ago, this teacher would have been immediately fired and never be allowed to teach again. There were would have been no debate about it.

The parents need to be doing more than “contacting the principal”. Lawsuits need to be filed.

Look at the teacher.

Just her online presence screams of self hatred, completely unloveable- even to herself- envy of other’s happiness. People like her blame everyone but themselves for their self earned lot in life. She reeks of mental illness, one who is so jealous of others who are happy and all that their self love brings and she feels the world owes her what so many others work so hard at and for.

If my child had gotten this sexual content, I would be calling any and every attorney who I could pay to personally sue her into oblivion for the emotional trauma inflicted on my child. I consider this to be sexual abuse of a minor.

Lawsuits absolutely need to be filed. The parents “contacting the principal” is not enough. And this sort of thing is probably going on a lot more often than is being reported. There have to be serious consequences or this will only continue to get worse.

IOW, a liberal.

An infantile rant. Not a poem.

The "poem:"

I mean, how insecure are you, White Hollywood,

when diversity means placing Asian males

in asexual supporting roles,

never getting the girls.

I mean, I get it, you don't need Viagra, (45)

you can such your own dick Because you get a colonized erection

every single time you cast Asian woman

As love interest sex slaves.

Regards,

We would be better if we taught logic and reasoning, rather than playing Six degrees from Simon Letter to find racism in everything imaginable. Imagine if this were the norm rather than the exception

Compared to the poem actually assigned, that was a Shakespearean sonnet

They fight other conservatives up a storm, though. It's our side's version of virtue signaling.
