Poem
You see them all around these days, braying loud on the internet, people claiming that they’re victims, demanding you ‘recognize’ that. But when they explain what is wrong biting back a laugh is quite hard, half the things they complain of don’t leave bruises, much less a scar. I’m a victim because you don’t call me demi-girl two spirit, you won’t call me a woman when surgeons gave me genitals the snip. I’m a victim because I can chose to stay home, let my man work, take half his stuff when I get bored, Patriarchy makes men jerks! I’m a victim because some unknown fool put a dark joke up on the net, progress means thinking just like I do, quick, call down the whole government! I’m a victim because at work they demand that I do the job, my ancestors got a raw deal, so pay me more, you racist clod! That last part just amazes me, thinking back upon Civil Rights, back in the fifties and sixties, and all that went on in that fight. The blood, the stones, the dogs let loose, the murderous Democrat Klan... Did they suffer to be victims? Hell no, but for the rights on man! They wanted only the same chance, be free of this nonsense of ‘race,’ now their grandkids want victimhood, seems like quite the slap in the face. Now why do so many want this? Well, it seems quite easily to me, they feel the ‘pain of victimhood’ excuses them from morality. That because of bad part events they don’t have to strive to be good, they can do evil, not feel wrong, not worry about all the ‘shoulds.’ A way to indulge without fear of consequence awaiting them, to make their sins look quite righteous, to strip all restraints off of men. So you can burn a building down, beat people and make blood splatter, and not have to feel bad for it, since after all, Black Lives Matter. And you can ruin livelihoods, put whole families out of the street, since, “They didn’t use my pronouns!” Not care they can no longer eat. You can walk through the capital and never be locked up in jail, but if the other side does it then somehow that’s beyond the pale! And while this may explain their choice, there’s nothing that can excuse it, If you want to be a victim you’re really just a piece of sh-t.
