Reality So Rough

Fair or Con
He fought personal poverty with his bucket list of buckets.
Did anyone throw in some gold teeth or nuggets?
The "pied piper of bigotry"
Made a speech. It wasn't free.
But this time there were smaller hauls and bigger _uck its.
*
No! No! Say it isn't so.
We're so great! Don't harsh the glow.
Because if we're not,
What have we got
Besides false pride and fast foods and all our bullets in a row?
*
Oooo! Oooo! Scarey stuff!
You mean we can never learn enough
From places such as Canada or Sweden or Denmark?
But tender feelings want a lark in the park
And sometimes truth makes a reality so rough.
