This is for Butters.
Butters,
Bearer of the garments of black and red
Teller of secretive, perverted jokes a selected few get
For he of the copper dyed and spiked hair, never staying in place
Keeper of the Cards, his prized orc with the mace
This is for Butters
Appreciating the simple joy of batteries
Breathing precious life into a Walkman
Beaming with pride at his cafeteria travesties :
Mayro and rye and tuna and peanut butter and kidney beans - but not ham.
Never once were any of the Frankenstein sandwiches touched by ham
This is for Butters
Short for Butterball
Derived in irony of his slim frame
A name inspired from the packaging of turkey
Turkey, the country his father came from
Only as an infant was he ever there
Not that it really matters
Because what matters is
He looks the part
Of the ones who drive staked of fear and hatred
Into the souls of his peers
Who at the dawning of the millennium once gathered 'round him
In fascination of a fancy accent
Never mind that his homeland's a completely different place
From which they assume him to be
Never mind that he's given no hint of treachery
And never mind that he does not play the part
He looks the part
And what's worse, he's proud.
Never once flinching under the undeserving limelight
Of suspicious, hateful, (but more so fearful) eyes
Singing along with Slayer calmly
As a tan messenger bag adorned with buttons metal bands
Along side amateur, green markered blessings in Arabic
And hauled over a jacked shoulder
Closing the locker hate-tagged over
This is for Butters
Who according to the masses, spreads terror wherever he goes
Because his spiked head alights on a cerulean prayer rug
As he humbles body and soul to the Almighty
At five in the morning
While the majority of his peers
Are basking in the luxury of their warm beds
This is for Butters
Who preformed a wrongdoing
Outdoing even his atrocious devotion to religion of terror:
He held no shame in it.
Keeping his heritage in no secret vault
But in the open, on his bag for the world to see
This is for Butters
Who looked square in the eye of his assaulters four
As eyes blazing they met him
Outside the after-hours door
This is for Butters
Who returned, egg yolk drenching his bag
Horrific black halos circling his eyes
Who returned just as calmly as he had gone that morning
And cheerfully greeting his mother
This is for Butters
Because as the saffron yolk and blood dried on his face
His head still held high
This is for Butters
A terrorist by association
The title of towel headed demon
Forever branded upon him
Regardless
Regardless of all evidence saying otherwise
Regardless of who he truly is
Because it is only where he is from that matters
So this is for Butters
Humbly kneeled upon the rug, devoid of any major sin
For Butters, the filthy Arab who voted Republican
And this is for Butters
Whose closest friend
Plummeted to the asphalt
When those two towers did.
