His Peaceful Claims

We’re told of your peaceful philosophies 
yet hear your voice of hate,  
As we wonder what kind of fools you mistake us for

You champion the cause of human rights
And preach how we should love
Yet it’s evident your simple mind 
Know’s not what it’s speaking of

You insult those to the right of you 
With obscenities and bias claim
Telling followers to hate the rich
Because somehow they’re to blame....

for children without fathers -  
and mothers who love their drugs
You preach your words of justice 
While praising violence done by thugs

Having murders in the streets,,,
and hungry homeless is not cool
But blaming successful people 
Are the rantings of a fool

Corporations are made of people
Who go to work each and every day
Preforming the task required of them
Because they have bills to pay

Instead of bringing unity 
Showing pathways which will work
You encourage riots in the streets 
Proving you are just a jerk

Where does your ignorant bias end
