Walk Away

They say your color defines you, that it is your identity, that pigment must determine what it is that you choose to believe. You are no individual, just lumped in arbitrary groups, if you don’t buy what they’re selling then the bastards come after you. You’re an Uncle Tom, a Twinkie, an Apple or a Coconut, tou’re a sell-out or a traitor, to be hated no matter what. You’ve never been human to them, just a vote for which they pay, if you want a meaningful life then it’s time to walk away. They say that gender is all fluid, that there are no women or men, yet still insist all ‘real’ females are gonna have to vote for them. They declare that reality is what they’re ‘feeling’ in their hearts, that you can be a manly man even if you’re lacking the parts. To say that youe real gender might influence how you think will fill them full of rage and get you fired within a blink. Despite thousands of millennia, the truth of it they cannot say, if you would see things as they are then you have got to walk away. They sat that we need tolerance, to appreciate differences, by the way they act I wonder if they even know what that is. Borrow from another culture and they cry ‘appropriation!’ Forgetting that we’ve always thrived on free assimilation. And God forbid you win power and they suffer a defeat, they cry ‘fascist,’ put on black masks, then assault people in the street. Elections, see, are only cool if it’s their side that wins the day. Should you believe that people rule then you are bound to walk away. They sat that it is quite alright to dictate what’s ‘hateful’ speech, forgetting that hard arguments can enlighten folks, and teach. They always come after your guns, saying it is for your own good, leaving free folk vulnerable to all tyrants, thugs, and hoods. They say that all religions are superstitious and absurd but never will dare to blaspheme all their hallowed leftist words. They paint a smile on their lips to hide just how much they hate, and if you would live a moral life then it’s time you walk away.
