"But I am wrong! But you are right! / I hope that gets you through the night / For the truth is something better / More of spirit less of letter"


Poem Artwork

Freedom of Speech for All and Each

All hail the conservatives
Pickled with preservatives
Of stupid superstitions
Mistaken for traditions

Hate is a tradition too

They dislike the likes of me
And will dislike your likes too
When we frolic friskily
Through their mythic misery

I will not be enslaved by
The narrow and depraved I
Am not here to live in fear

So conservatives: screw you

You will never catch the best
And may you fail as you do
Your worst to enslave the rest

But I am wrong! But you are right!
I hope that gets you through the night
For the truth is something better
More of spirit less of letter

Go have your fun play with your gun
Stay well the hell away from me
Your way is right for everyone
Except for me: we disagree

Now very slowly back away
From me go have a righteous day
Smugly snuggling with ignorance
Go rule the world at my expense

But you will fall someday and I
Will have the last laugh as you die
When late you learn and understand
You were supposed to share this land

With me

Freedom of speech for all and each
Keep your hands off my liberty
