Soreheads

Come on. It's just good fun to draw cartoons
Which mock their precious prophet. It's not
Like we curse them to their faces, as so many do.
They're backward, lazy, clannish, stupid. Their
Banlieus are blemishes upon our lovely city's
Skin. They should go home (to their real homes),
And, anyway, it's not just fun, but free
Expression which we'll celebrate... until they
Come for us and leave us bleeding on the pavement,
Chuckling, “Don't you find this funny?
Lighten up. Come on.”
