Keeping Up With Society

How does an old man as old as me
Keep up with the changes in society 

Men can be women, old men can be girls
Pronouns can be mx or they, or hers

Abortion is healthcare through faces proud
Is said by the bearer who echoes the crowd

The word “marriage” has changed from the ancients
Is nothing pure? Is nothing sacred?

Positive and negative no longer are compliments
Now we’re the same cos no need for supplements 

Sport now reflects the querying of boundaries 
Like robots obeying we are and non-binaried

All whites are oppressive without a choice
Everyone else sings in harmonic voice. 

The floodgates opened in 2014
Homosexual marriage the new morphine

All institutions now deceitfully captured
So called progressives buoyantly enraptured

The decline of the west has left me behind
But eternal truth is on my side.
