YOU DON’T CARE–IT DIDN’T HAPPEN IN GAZA

 (A message to the so-called Radical Left)

Remember me?

I’m Shelly Frey

On December 6th in Houston, Texas

WalMart executed me

I was shot dead

For shoplifting

Then Newtown happened

And then Christmas

And then the Super Bowl

There was supposed to be

An investigation into what

WalMart did to me

I haven’t seen any follow-up

On that or any articles

On the Lefty Blogs

About this atrocity

Just more crap about Gaza

If I had been executed

At the WalMart in Gaza

By the IDF,

Would that have been better?

Now you Lefties are talking about

Impeaching Obama

Because he wants to drone

Dangerous Americans

Does that include shoplifters?

Why haven’t you white Lefties

Taken up my story?

Why is it that injustice far away

Really turns you on,

Rather than what happens

In your own backyard?

And all those children in Newtown?

Can’t you see it’s products

That killed them?

Just like products

Killed me?

Those assault rifles

Should just not be sold at all

It’s all the same old shit

The Corporations make profit

To kill us all

I mean all of us who are not

Privileged white male Lefties

Writing about Gaza

And impeaching Obama

I was just another black woman

Not worth your attention

You had so many important things

On your minds

And then those poor little children

So I guess if you could figure out

How Israel was behind Newtown

And connect Obama to it,

You’d be in Heaven

But you know what?

I don’t want you here

Not in my backyard
