My Two Lincolns

By Loserland

My Two Lincolns


My name is Michael Johnson
A self-proclaimed “loser”
I live in the conservative south of the u.s.a.
And I am surrounded by morons
Narrow-minded conformists
Who share a single viewpoint
Much like a herd of zombies
It’s fucked up and really sad
Like they are totally unaware
Never looking beyond limitations
Sure they were raised christian
Taught what to think, who to hate
Given a strict set of rules to abide by
Of course they pick only the ones
That suits their personal needs
For instance, they can hate gays
And vote against gay marriages
Because they aren’t gay themselves
Thus the prohibition doesn’t affect them
Just makes them feel better about themselves
Yet when it comes to things like
Getting divorced or living in sin
If they need to bend a sin or two
To fit their own needs, well that’s ok
No problem, but not for fags
Why? Because…(prepare yourself to laugh)
…of a fear of procreation becoming extinct
Yes folks, this is what’s being force-fed
At your local Sunday school
Imagine people fearing this because of gays
It reeks of total ignorance
But what more should we expect
From organized religion
The “Hypo-christians”
As Peter Steele once said -
Serve their own prejudices
Not an all loving creator
They definitely do not care for their “brother”
I can profess that I’m not gay
Thus I have no stake in this
And I don’t really have any gay friends
But it’s not because I hate gays
So I’m not swayed for homosexual marriages
I merely stand for freedom
The ability to choose and have a choice
But the christians want only control

Next topic: the war
First off I never wrote a 9-11 poem
No dedication of patriotism
Mostly because it didn’t affect me
I didn’t know any of the victims
It wasn’t my fight
But my, how people jumped on the bandwagon
Flags and shirts and bumpstickers and more flags
Now I believe in justice
I think those responsible should’ve paid the consequences
But not all those innocent Israel victims
I don’t understand the mentality here
In a country that preaches against violence
Tries to ban things to supposedly stop aggression
Yet this is the example they set for the children
By the standard of the cause of the war’s beginning
We have the right to kill someone and their friends and family
If they have killed someone we care about
For instance, it’s like saying since Timothy McVay
Blew up that building in Oklahoma
We should go bomb the hell out of Arkansas
Does that seem fitting, …didn’t think so
I think we should have sent secret agents
To the Middle East to assassinate the perpetrators
Without public knowledge or concern
Just silently stalked and slain their asses
But would’ve been too easy
Instead we had to destroy and bully
Because of power and control
Our great country holds dark secrets
You can be aware of or choose to ignore
I for one am tired of this shitty facade
I am not for war, any war
Go ahead and call me a fucking hippie
Not bothered by dumb slander
But I want no part of this
So I won’t have a “support the troops” ribbon
Although I do feel for them and hope they survive
Knowing that many won’t…but that’s not important
We’re making a statement
America: the land of the bound
But the majority is always right…right
Get your big group of idiots
Hell a lot of people thought the Holocaust
Was a good idea
Not to mention slavery, witch hunts, etc

Moving on: abortion
As previously stated, I like freedom
And in a conceptual “free world”
I think you should have it
The Bible says “to error is human”
We fuck up, a lot
Should we have to forever be in debt
To the consequences of our stupid actions
People, population is a nationwide epidemic
Not a scarce quantity we need to ration
I think unwanted children
That aren’t going to be given up for adoption
Shouldn’t be born…merely to suffer
To grow up unloved and guideless
Creating more monsters for society
Rape victims, incapable of caring women,
And the pregnancies that endanger the mother
These go unnoticed by conservatives
I’m a guy, this doesn’t affect my body
But I seem to share this feministic view
More than many women do
Because they only think “what would I do”
Or maybe “what would Jesus do”…hehe…sorry
Not “oh to each his (or her) own”
It’s “my opinion should dictate the rights of strangers”
It’s easy…don’t want an abortion, don’t get one
Another woman’s body isn’t any of your business
And for the last Fucking time
It’s a fetus, not a baby
Do you remember the good ole fetus days
No, you weren’t formed, you uneducated Neanderthal
Fucking fascist democracy… sure boys and girls
Jesus was historically a really person
But so was David Keresh
No, of course no one could have created the bible
A simple work of fiction
No one’s ever had an imagination…or a need to scare
Keep you in check, in line with the masses
Humans are pathetic…someone please nuke us
I hate it here, too much bullshit
So anyway, for all it’s worth…which is nothing
That’s my two cents worth.

    it's when a woman fucks up and get's pregnant then decides to use an abortion as birth control. it's sick and it's selfish.

    Made some good points but it is a baby. . .not a fetus. They use the word fetus to dehumanize the life of the child. Under circumstances such as rape or the health of the mother, I can understand, though I would never do it myself. I value human life. But

    I'm with you. You could move somewhere more northern- I was going to say Ohio, but we elected Bush, so maybe Canada...
