Poem
Criminals feel they deserve whatever they desire Morality isn’t relevant, its ruthlessness that they admire Society owes them, it robbed their rightful portion Criminologists describe this as cognitive distortion. Elliot’s manifesto said he wanted to fit in, Cast out, rejected, just couldn’t win He wrote that women couldn’t see his value, his core So, he killed six, and had plans to kill more A man saw a pretty nurse, asked her to dance “Mbarek," she said, "you don’t stand a chance." He beat her down, was happy to confess It was his right; she could have said yes. A teen tried to shake hands with Josh, But Josh said no Teen shot Josh dead, if not friend, he’s a foe My guess is that the kid felt disrespected Only right that Josh’s arrogance be corrected A Muslim told a reporter: maybe the BBC A hijab on each woman is his right to be free A tank top is an offense in God’s sight And telling you what to wear is his right You might think, that’s not so bad But his wish-list has hands cut, seems kind of rad. Some believe healthcare’s a right, housing too Free college where you wonder where four years flew But nothing is free, someone bears the cost Freedom’s precious, grab too much, it’s lost Entitled to hate, but not when words become acts Seek the truth, but don’t invent your own facts Some manipulate, they like to control Your body not enough, they want also your soul Their freedom must end, where your freedom begins It’s every generation’s war, fight or no one wins.
