Modern Tyranny, Part Ii
...You see people dividing us,
some ‘oppressors’ and others ‘oppressed,’
they claim that it’s ‘social’ justice,
a brutal and crushing concept.
They care not for what you have earned,
they don’t even care about crime,
just look at skin and genitals,
ignoring what is in your mind.
You’re not a person to these types,
just a thing they can move about,
they care not for your sovereignty,
for morals, what’s wrong and what’s right.
But free people are entitled
to equality under the law,
to be treated one at a time,
not given a deal that is raw.
If your county favors this way
then you’re living in tyranny,
that government should be abolished
or altered until you are free.
Perhaps the worst are those out there
who silence voices they don’t like,
attack you job your family
if you exercise free speech rights,
trying to warp your very thoughts
by restricting what you can say,
those who ‘cancel’ are the monsters,
much deserving of all our hate.
What is a man if he cannot
think and express what he finds true?
Freedom demands we speak our peace,
it’s a duty we have to do.
Without it all the bad ideas
aren’t subjected to real critique,
that’s why they want to silence us,
to hide that their bullies and freaks.
They make up all these ‘hate speech’ laws
to try and put a bow on it,
but freedom always cuts both ways,
we need the good words, and bullsh-t.
If your country won't allow this
then you’re living in tyranny,
that government should be abolished,
or altered until you are free.
