Some Cultures Are Better Than Others, Part I
I think, perhaps, the greatest evil
of the plague that we call P.C.
Is how it drops a shade on us,
until truth we no longer see.
It tells people we’re all the same,
that all cultures are just as good,
say we shouldn’t be proud of ourselves,
that only bigots ever would.
But truthfully, look at our cultures,
the ones that fail, the ones that boast,
some cultures are better than others,
and the west is better than most.
When you look at what we’ve achieved,
there’s no other that really comes close,
the technology that runs this world,
great machines that travel the cosmos,
medicines that double our lifespan,
more expression that can be read,
freedom, natural rights of man,
realization the out governments
are parasites, never the host;
some cultures do better than others,
and we’ve gone much farther than most.
But the same thing cannot be said
of other cultures you find out there,
just look to radial Islam
if you want to feel true despair.
Women treated like they’re cattle,
faces shrouded in tent fabric,
some can’t vote, work, or speak their mind,
deprived of all choice, it’s damn sick.
Terrorists killing innocents,
and the culture excuses it,
crushing religious minorities,
proclaiming they’re glad that they did?!
No expression that dare crosses
the words said in their holy book,
encouraging cousin marriage,
and chopping the hands off of crooks…
Then people seriously ask
why all these countries lag behind?
Why they give nothing but oil,
and are mired in war all the time?
Why ever would be emulate
dysfunction that decimates hope?
Some cultures are better than others,
and the west if better than most.
Just look to northern Mexico,
why again should we let them in?
Half the country ruled by drug cartels,
skilled in a plethora of sins.
Pimping, trafficking, endless rape,
it’s all been going on for years,
and the cultures just accepts it,
runs away, or cowers in fear.
Yet P.C. folks defend this crap,
while their own they insult and roast..
Some cultures are better than others,
and the west is better than most.
In sub-Saharan Africa,
in ruined Venezuela, down south,
we see countries so corrupted
that they cannot pull themselves out.
People get the societies that
they are willing to tolerate,
if their cultures bring failure and death
why would we want to imitate?
We can feel bad for such people,
but don’t let empathy be your rope,
some cultures are better than others,
and the west is better than most.
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
