They Want To Make You Hurt, Part II
...It seems that all their ‘solutions’
are made to diminish mankind,
to make life harder in a world
that at it’s best seems sometimes malign.
They want us to starve in darkness,
they want us to freeze in a cave,
openly speak of reducing
the population in some way.
A blatant anti-human strain,
some of them go so far to think
the world would be a better place
if human beings went extinct!
To think that all humans can do
can be so simply thrown away,
for animals that kill and hunt
with no difference from day to day.
What darkness lies without a soul
to think of their own kind like this?
what emptiness they seek to fill
with this pseudo-religious sh-t?
Or is it that those people claim
to be some sort of an elite?
They want to keep the ‘peasants’ down,
relative status they all seek,
since it’s never the rich hippies
who live by the rules that they set,
they tell us to suffer while they
fly to conferences on private jets!
Not the actions of believers,
in truth it’s the action of those
who don’t want you to climb up to
the positions to which they rose.
So they take cars, take you house,
badger you to give up your meat,
tell you it’s bad to have children,
claim that it’s a moral belief,
to force you all to live a life
that’s poorer, more hungry, and short,
to feel greater they’ll say, “For Earth
it may be better to abort!”
All this nonsense is no required
to make smart conservation work,
they are no greens, they’re misanthropes,
and they just want to make you hurt.
