Elmers Glue
The highest crime is silence from all the whispers and snares.
He bore a cross to witness for all our sins forebear..
Shackled to the stake as they gleamed with evil glares.
Knowing how this feels from victim shamers of men.
We take it back to Adam in which Eve bore the greatest sin.
Women are inferior making all of the mistakes.
As men get away with everything they take, and take and take.
If I dare offend you perhaps you can stone me too.
You can tape my mouth shut with a bit of elmers glue.
The world is full of sadists with no compassion at heart.
If you think I’m wrong; we shall now depart.
Jesus bore the cross for us, and I can feel the nails.
For the abuse is far too much for me to even tell.
Until you walk a mile in my fragile shoes.
I think you might think twice before using elmers glue.
