Notes About The Poem

Wrote this piece nearly 30 years ago but sadly it is more relevant now than ever.
Listen to poem:

Politically Incorrect

Answer my call to arms you patriots all
  and rise up with blunt collateral force -
rage against the culture wars that we stall
  the Neo-Left tyranny at its source.

Oppose their marxist ideological plot
  and let not the herbal tea nazis prevail -
remember back that which old sense forgot
  and arm our true selves that we not fail.

Return fire on who rephrase and revise -
  Rage! Rage! And be politically direct.
On these psycho wingnuts upon them rise,
  rise up till no longer are we “Correct”.

Burn their Trojan Horse and stand our walls
  that the soldiers of satan seek to tear down -
resist lest all that we know and built falls
  and norms become the new battleground. 

Speak the truth these lentil eaters betray,
  rail against the nose ring cultus of lunacy,
and be not a pawn to what fools obey
  with their spin and New Age orthodoxy.

Return fire on who rephrase and revise -
  Rage! Rage! And be politically direct.
On these psycho wingnuts upon them rise,
  rise up till no longer are we “Correct”.

Keith your analytical mind was firing on all cylinders thirty years ago my friend. Common sense will prevail thirty years later. So what does that say, it says that you were right, so chances are what you believe today will hold true thirty years from now. You can't fix common sense either you have it or you don't. Thanks for sharing and give yourself credit and if any body has the right to say "I told you so!" it's you. Cheers my friend. God bless you for speaking your truths...

Recommended reading: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, Holy Bible...it's there for those who get off their phones. No excuses, just arrogance.

30 years ago Orwell’s book was still a scary cautionary tale but today it’s used as a playbook. To Democrats and parties of the left all over the world it is their bible.
