Self-Righteous Do-Gooders
Self-righteous do-gooders, so they believe, preaching the Word while minds they deceive,
Casting their ballots for racist, lying, cheats, shelving morality for them to be the lead,
Satisfied preying on the innocent and cleansing the impure, while claiming their prayers will sanctify and hold them secure,
Women stay passive, men will lead and fight, qualm their goody-two shoed outlook with their “good works” that make it right,
Believing progressive outlook ends the value of the American way, yet changing their medieval ideology is the last thing they would slay,
Promised a miraculous fix for the Red, White, and Blue nation, years later it is worse and blamed on the former rulers’ dictations,
Athletes are vilified for kneeling in peace, unjustified murders from countless police,
Threats to deploy numbers in thousands against oppressed citizens of this country, not one word of peace from a dictator and his tight gentry family,
The list goes on and the battles never end, if you see something is not right, not fair, or apart from the trend,
There is moral obligation, ethical righteousness, and justice for all, to stand up with courage and integrity, through action, make the right call.
