Deludedly Correct

Wrong!
Although what you said is "right"
I'm deluded.
Zealously, I contradict truth with much might.
With batteries & extras included;
I bring the weapons for the delusional fight.

Do your feelings crave a pleasing?
I serve the broth of contrived platitudes.
Are the facts displeasing?
Sip from the liquor of disingenuous attitudes.

Offend not the ProNoun!
Revere the ProNoun!
Mind the ProNoun!
Else ye are vermin and not Profound.

Voice, shut it, hold silence.
I'm Offended!
Eradicate Speech's Liberty with a brutal Violence!
…I was brutally offended.

I'm a fully-grown infant.
Infancy is now my identity.
Justice blessed me with legal immunity.
Freely, I can take a child's purity...

A paedophile in children's clothing.
A predator in herbivores' clothing.

Click-clack, click-clack.

We are blood thirsty finger warriors,
On the electrical board of keys.
Post an insensitive fact;
We'll have you beheaded in cyberspace.

Click-click, clack-clack...

Welcome to the new era where:
Truth is the Black-Sheep;
Feelings, the adorable last born
Common sense in a comatose deep sleep.

Them that offend.
Them that speak "facts"
Them that dishonour sacred pronouns,
Them that disregard new "genders".

Provoke,
Profane,
Prosecute,
& Persecute
Them & all that refuse to be
