What does your suffering amount to

When you have nothing to hold onto

Has the world not always betrayed you

Confused you don’t even know what’s true

No hope in laws of autonomy

No consolation in sodomy

Ignoring the deaths that so grimly

Blind all the hypnotized and smarmy

The demonic screeching at the wise

Proves everything taught in schools is lies

Wolves in sheep’s clothing don every guise

To convince innocents girls are guys

News isn’t new shocking tales aren’t few

You won’t escape their distorted view

Without help you could drown in the slew

Of hatred and vile untruths they spew
