Conservative

By Phalanx

I tie myself down, nicely,
In a politically correct sort of fashion,
To kill a man.
I don't like what he's saying.
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
He's just so loud!
Inconsiderate, earmonger.
A relic, speaking in past tense.
God has a special place for people who talk out of turn.
You're suppossed to agree with me, me, and buy in!
Why won't you let me let you die?
You need my help.
You're confused.

Response:
You want us to believe you understand free thinking,
Yet you bring rope for blasphemer's.
You insist it makes sense but, there is no two way
Exchange of thought.

You are the lie,
We are the facts, and
We will survive.

We talk out of turn when you use the truth to use a facet
To suit your incomplete point.

We consider and contemplate on your ignorance, often.

We don't like what you're saying, yet we make no attempts
To prevent you from speaking your mind.

A relic? I guess we do stick to our values.

God does have a special place for us, we stand our ground and choose not to hate.

We refuse to die so quietly, as prefered because we have just as much right
To speak and exist.

I do need help but, not yours.

And yes, I am confused, just as much as you.
