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
