Politically Incorrect Poem ^^;;

[cinaed]

Okay, I was listening to Green-Day's "Minority" and feeling bitter, and so I wrote a poem that is very politically incorrect. Here it is.



I wanna be a minority
I wanna be assured that you’ll bend over backwards for me
Trying to please me
Because you think I’ve been so repressed, depressed, broken in two
Because of my so-called saga I deserve more than you

I wanna be a minority
I wanna be assured that you’ll bend over backwards for me
Trying to gratify me
Because you think I’ve been denied, decried, lost to the madness
Because of my so-called life I deserve no more sadness

So whatever I say, my will must be done
I could poison the earth and blot out the sun
I could drink all the oceans and bloody the sky
And get away with it all ‘til the day that I die

I wanna be a minority
I wanna be assured that you’ll bend over backwards for me
Trying to thrill me
Because you think I’ve been offended, undefended, forgotten by history
Because of my so-called story I deserve all the mystery

I wanna be a minority
I wanna be assured that you’ll bend over backwards for me
Trying to entertain me
Because you think I’ve been misused, abused, left to the dark abyss
Because of my so-called past I deserve all the bliss

So whatever I say, my will must be done
I could poison the earth and blot out the sun
I could drink all the oceans and bloody the sky
And get away with it all, no questions of why

I could poison the earth and destroy all the light
I could blot out the sun and shoot a bird in mid-flight
I could drink all the oceans and swallow the moon
I could redden the heavens and still be immune

I wanna be a minority
I wanna be the only voice heard in this nation
I wanna be my salvation and your damnation
I wanna be a minority

I wanna be a minority
I want someone to bend over backwards for me
Trying to please me
Trying to gratify me
Trying to thrill me
Trying to entertain me
I wanna be a minority



Mostly, America is good at listening to the minorities. Now, they've been fairly deaf to the plight of the gay community, but I'm hoping that will change with our generation.

In other things, however, America has become too devoted to minorities. One complaint from an atheist at a local high school will keep a block on the school walkway from having a cross on it, although other blocks that parents dedicated to their children are allowed to have Jewish symbols, symbols of peace, everything except Christian symbols. People have taken the idea of "freedom of religion" and twisted it to their own means, making religion a taboo topic. There is no freedom of religion if you are condemned for even mentioning you're religious because "religion causes too much controversy." If everyone, atheist, Jew, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, so on and so forth, is silenced because the topic of religion has become forbidden, we have failed our forefathers in their dreams of people being allowed to worship as they pleased. I know I didn't explain myself very well, and I apologize for that. If I can reword this better in the future, I will.

And now I am tired and depressed because today's the day Ken Jennings loses on Jeporday. The world is crashing down. What will I do without my adorable Mormon from Utah? *sniffles*
