Running Casual

I do not wish to offend, or rattle the offended

But the world looks to me so backwards and bended

So many errant lines converge unto a dead end

So many changeable hearts with no wish to mend

You say you want truth, but close your eyes when you find it

You say you want freedom, but close your ears and deny it

You say you want love, but any body will do

As long as it gives you what you want it to

I have no patience for watered down sentiment

With no real backbone, just a pretense of benevolence

You champion the rights for free speech and acceptance

But muzzle the voice that doesn’t bow to your presence

I feel a war is coming, but I can’t say when

I just hope I’m not here when the offensive begins
