Delusionall Beliefs

All of this makes my heart hurt
And makes my anxiety run high. 
It's all a little overwhelming
And makes some break down and cry.

Sadly, some people could care less
Of the consequences of their actions. 
They fail to see the result of it and
The minor and major infractions.

Until we stop judging each other
And begin to make good change,
Our Country will raise offended generations
And our rights and lives will be rearranged.

The past generations are saddened and cringe
At the perspective stupidity of folks today.
So our next generations will suffer for this 
Because it's a price they will have to pay.

For our current generations failures
To acknowledge whats right and true,
Have left a sour taste in mouths of past generations 
Whom fought the front lines for freedoms bestowed unto you.

Their sacrifices have allowed us all to be free.
Providing us all with rational rights, justice and laws.
So please have some honor, respect and dignity for them,
For fighting over being offended is simply an unjust cause.

If we do not remove hate and judgment
And we continue to have irrational self-pity,
Then people will continue to be offended
And have the delusion that they are as right as any.

So, I say to you now, 
Listen carefully all who are reading,
Stop acting like self righteous fools
And stop being irrationally offended from the beginning.

Instead, always remember where you come from
And remember to be logical and wise.
For your irrational behavior and being offended,
Is not the reason past generations have fought for and given sacrifice
