Why People Why

Why people why




About so many things I want to let fly,

Political correctness is like a stick in my eye.

Capitalism and greed over helping others, WHY ?

State sanctioned murder, yeah let the innocent fry.


Apathetic laziness, will lead to obesity,

Get moving people, it’s hard but it works trust me.

My lazy Son the millennial wants it all to come easy.

His education costs a fortune but it should be free.


I like Rap music but not the way it denigrates ladies.

The way it glorifies drugs makes me crazy like rabies

And the language is horrid, no ifs, buts or maybes.

But worst is violence towards kids or on babies.

Nice one! Maybe check out British rap. Lots of much more interesting stories there than the rap you described. I love the poem. You really nailed it.

A disturbing rant, Jeff. Which I believe was the exact effect you wanted to create. Well done. Congrats on your win.
