I want to listen

to the screams of conservatives

as they are turned away from entitlement.

I want to people who support

'Stand Your Ground' policies

to be on the receiving end

of the people who fear them;

the man with seven guns under his lumberjack shirt

on the wrong end

of a terrified woman who rear-ended him.

I want to hear the indignation

of anti maskers; anti-vacciners

as they succumb to COVID, Polio, measles

and demand hospital treatment

because they have insurance.

I want to hear the Righteous Right

complain at the Gates of Valhalla

as they are denied entry to the promised land.

Schadenfreude is only satisfying

when the Privileged are Suffering.
