Now is not the time for squirming,
unless of course some angry guy on TV
says we should squirm if we really love America.
*
Now is not the time to duck,
unless of course some drive-time radio
panic artist tells us to get under the table.
*
Now is not the time to fight,
unless of course some blogger in the basement
says to put your mitts in the air.
*
Now is not the time to flee,
unless you listen to the latest
jackass running to the bank.
