Honest Truths

The world has never been smaller, we’re making strides for peace, bonds of trade and the internet bring us closer, at least. an age where the old armed conflicts may finally be no more— (If your really want a lasting peace, prepare yourselves for war) It’s our job to make sure people do not slip through the cracks, the state can step up and provide for folks who sorely lack. Socialism can look after the forgotten of the earth— (One hundred million dead agree, this idea never works.) Our age of great equality rewards the female sex, women have taken the workplace, what will they take on next? The barriers that still remain will know the righteous fight— (Yet no job brings fulfillment like raising up the kids right.) We’re taking on the patriarchy, demonize toxic males! All men who follow their nature must be attacked without fail. Don’t they know that it’s a new day, both feminine and wise— (When men aren’t allowed to be men Civilizations die.) Let us make peace in the Middle East, they’re all misunderstood, their faith is no different than ours, it’s done a lot of good. Let’s tolerate the Islamist, it’s time to heal these scars— (Why don’t you ask a Yazidi girl how ‘tolerant’ they are?) We’re building a safer world, it’s not the wild west, to speak of firearms is wrong, even if done in jest. All the right folk agree with this, anyone with a brain— (The day that you give up your guns is the day you wear chains.) A woman should not be made to carry unwanted kids, and there should be no question if she wants to abort it. You see it’s just a clump of cells, we know this to be true— (Now imagine if your own mother put the forceps to you.)
