Politically Correct
Politically Correct
See with eyes and hear with ears
Yet ever feel the dark
The truth is lies that mustn’t speak
For contrast pierces stark
Correct now lies within a choice
To shroud the light of truth
Politically we seal our fate
With lies from every tooth
Like children dancing in the street
We laugh and play and fight
We need not sticks or stones to throw
For truth makes flame ignite
Wisdom finds no place to grow
While ears bleed ‘til they’re dry
We mustn’t bother face a fact
It pays more if we cry
For daddy has a whipping stick
No reason at his side
Religiously he reads the book
And tans the wrong man’s hide
The precedent sets forth a law
Against such words of strife
It matters not that truth was spoke
It felt more like a knife
Never more shall wisdom teach
Producing naught but pain
Gluttons may lack self-control
But let them have their reign
Lust for wealth corrupts a man
And greed destroys the earth
But wronger still is speaking so
Alluding your own worth
So rather than offend a man
With evil on his sleeve
We mustn’t judge his character
We’re safer when naive
