21st Century Victim

LGBT and the loud minority
women want their rights
and the blacks equality
some do get upset
believe conspiracy 
protests and petitions 
all over my TV 
thoughtless hypocrites 
contradict consistently 
religion sees its boundaries 
shrink with every century 
politicians lie 
most empathetically 

they all point at the white man 
hindsight and history 
and he must put it right now 
he caused their misery 

is it right to blame the white 
if the white's a man like me 
no cause I have to fight 
which comes in unity 
paraded in such light 
our "superiority" 
as white men take their life 
they do it to be free 

The weight placed on their shoulders 
by each community 
for acts they had no role in 
the species history 

He'll never be the victim
called racist cause sexism 
yet white men made to listen 
have help they need now missing 
an isolated existence 
in society's "accused" prison
