“Pavlov's Monkeys (Sonnet 2608)
I'm a brain scientist,
I know more about human instincts,
than the humans do themselves,
yet one thing still puzzles me -
how can people be so repulsed at the nazis,
yet be so stupidly unabashed about
the british empire and the american pilgrims,
with a criminal record hundred times bloodier!
You feel quite at home, proud even,
when you hear, 'the British were civilizers,
the Americans were pioneers,'
yet if I say one positive word about the nazis,
suddenly your blood boils like circus-trained dogs!
It's good, your blood should boil,
your blood should boil at the
very idea of hate and persecution,
but what kind of a prehistoric orangutan
cherrypicks which persecution to be mad at,
based on the color of skin or place of birth!”
― With Love From A Blue Rock
