Virtue signal me
with your Colgate smile
microscopic minds
seem to be in style
Scrutinise my every word
written or spoken how absurd!
I don’t care or share
your BBC bias…
For I know deep down
all men are liars
skeletons hang in all of our closets
thoughts, deeds – shameful acts
that is the truth
those are the facts…
Hiding under your cloak of hypocricy
as you mount your attack
diversity your mantra
faux concern expressed
to those of minority faith, colour, culture
just pawns in your game
building your deluded Utopia…
See me as an embarrassment
maybe I am – offending your conscience
ruining your plans
despisingly you stare straight in my face
not knowing my children – all whom mixed race
But that wouldn’t compute
could never be right
I must be an Islamohobic racist
cos I’m working class white!
I’m not concerned about Brexit
leave or remain
for you it will change
for me stay the same
Just trying to be a man
dealing daily with his pain
living a quiet life
never making the news
with an open mind n’ independent views
Sure I’ve said things in anger
in moments of rage
things I regret – but wisdom comes with age
Do my best to live this side of the law
but the odds are stacked – I’m nobody’s fool
still try to show kindness to everyone I meet
I’m just that old guy who lives down your street
It’s not that I’m slow – just everything so fast
living by old school values I learned in the past
Yet I know a world without forgiveness
a world without grace
will be ruled by men
who feel no guilt or shame
So my SJW woke friend
take a deep look within
throw that first stone
if yourself without sin….
