The Modern Cause

I don’t start off thinking it’s a priority to insult so if you end up offended it’s probably your fault opinions can be devisive one will speak and another won’t like it offensive views are realised Someone’s mental state is in a crisis Start throwing sticks and stones Hire a wolf to blow down homes Easily offended and always prone vacated adults who like to moan We live in a world of victim mentality grouped together in a cause for humanity those historical tales filled with the brutality though not our experience or actuality as a white man I’m supposed to have it easy the call for equality means no one sees me because I cannot call on some ancient history when I had the advantage in a previous century A single man isn’t given a house to live in that the same man with children would be given raising kids on benefits who don’t make a living and yet no one cares if single men are driven When girls become pregnant they are given homes A gifted blessing though the father’s unknown while these single men must survive on their own and they say equality favours the man alone Men disagree and the situation turns physical women disagree and spread tales that ridicule so what if men and women are disagreeable advantage to the female practiced at cynical Because men don’t play mind games with men it’s just too much effort to ever waste on them whereas women play these games over again the opposite gender that males can’t threaten so LGBT and women are historically lesser and we must respect Black Lives Matter in a white mans world white men are better though at a disadvantage if they ain’t clever In todays world the cause gets prioritised at the piles base every white man alive the message we bully and must step aside making up for history before we were alive And yet we are not victims and are not offended I guess my grandfather lived a life most splendid and my generation are now expected to mend it in a white mans world that must be defended Don’t ever forget just who built this city with the sections of it now demanding pity who have equal rights and the same opportunities you should reap the rewards not focus on scrutiny
