Poem Title:
Poem
You hear endlessly about tolerance, as if it always must be heaven-sent, that all differences we must appreciate, and to not do so makes us reprobates. And they’re always pressing for more and more, must make friends with the folks we once deplored, be they criminals who’ve shown no kindness, or rioters leaving cities a mess. Be it religions who call for our end, or Marxists who demonize all men, be they teachers who purposefully poison youth, or professors who believe in ‘my truth.’ Name the act, and some will yell, “Tolerate it!” But I say there’s good reasons for limits, when you chose to tolerate what’s evil it’s no virtue, it will just get you killed. We should never be tolerant of crime, if you excuse it, it just grows with time, or ignore it to help our politics, then you’ll see society break down right quick. We should never be tolerant of lies, it’s a form of betrayal to my eyes, it destroys all trust in your fellow man, and leave both of your lives on shifting sand. We should not be tolerant of those chuds who lump human beings by skin to judge if they are ‘victims’ or if they ‘oppress,’ then try to play us off against the rest. We should not tolerate these jerks who say, “We’ll take care of you, just sign your rights away.” The kind who say that, “You’ll get it for free!” Then turn around and steal that cash from me. We should not tolerate terrorist scum, be it for politics or religion, if you use force to destroy people’s rights, you should stare at a prison cell all your life. We should not tolerate ideas that fail, no matter how much the lefties will wail, just ’cause it’s different does not mean it works, repeating a failed idea only hurts. This same idea applies to cultures, I think, because a good many of them just stink, failed states are something we don’t celebrate, why copy that failure? Why tolerate? We should not tolerate government schools indoctrinating our kinds to be fools. Our work, friends, and marriage we choose ourselves, but then hand off our kinds to bureaucratic hell? We should never tolerate those false friends who diminish people, only pretend to actually care, while they manipulate, to drag down others into their own fate. We should never tolerate tyranny, better to die then to know slavery, if it comes with a smile, or with a fist, either way we should not allow for this... CONCLUDES IN PART II.
