“In the flash mob on Saturday, groups of teenagers were chanting “black boys” and “burn the city,” bystanders said.”

“Black boys burn the city.”
Smartphones film the riots.
News reprints the ditty:
Headlines call for quiet.
'Bums demand a handout,'
Brownshirts say with rifles.
Teabag goons expand doubt:
Killing foes for trifles.
Bandwidth! Give me rapid
Rates of transfer: faster
Forms of ever vapid,
Self-induced disaster.

The message is as strong as the meter. You really knocked this one out of the park.
Rolls off the tongue? Maybe i'm reading it wrong.
Fun little poem, though. Very borderline offensive.
