Hate Speech
Outside I’m the same man as ever
A bit older, softer, wider for sure,
Wiser perhaps, but basically
The same cheerful, friendly, outgoing
And compliant guy I’ve always been
Inside my heart has turned to iron
A molten mass pushing outward
With my head a volcano ready to explode
From a world gone wrong, churned and turned upside down
By all the official confabulations to a nation of sheep
At every turn we are bombarded
And everywhere you turn you see the cowed
Driven down into themselves
From class and sex and race wars
To the Wuhan lab virus and January 6th show trials
Everywhere the sadists now
Hold the power smirking with twisted glee
As the Everyman withdraws a little further
From the lies without
To the truth within
Outside you’d never know
How much hatred and ill will I hold
For you sadistic f**ks who have used and abused our trust
War is coming, across the waters, to these very streets
And I just pray an asteroid comes instead
In preemptive strike
To destroy your sacred swamp and save US all
From another phony election and plandemic
Making a new ground zero burn for a new nation to rise
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all
