#liberals
You killed your soul, so long ago And decency right after that You've been driven by your ego Faking smiles to collect hate. You think you’ve got your holy grail So white, so clean, untouched by dirt Who you kidding with fairy tale? Can’t please both worlds and still on Earth. Will you be one? Will become one? You, plastic men, nature’s asking Will you offer your plastic heart? To be cut off by Holly king? You’ve chosen the ugly stuff With fancy names, which might vary You left classic, beauty and life To be modern, contemporary. You are ***** blind, unholy You lack the shame your fathers had. Even if death hugs my body I’ll never blame that times were bad.

To far, far left
Welcome to Austin time to go home you can't stay here pick up and roam The roads are all filled ya can't move around too many cars in a liberal town Mass transit a huge bicycle joke more such the lanes indoors ya can't smoke The festivals and venues are filled to the max renting out homes paying the city the tax Artsy and edgy full of hot air Uber is back charging exorbitant fare Hipsters and pundits are all here and around bums living in boxes old and unsound Visit us often and spend all your dough we can't leave this place cuz we've nowhere to go

Visit and leave
you yearn for freedom then you crush it you ask for time yet you rush it you preach equality then ban all others you look for knowledge yet hide under covers you want perfection then you complain you ask for sanity yet behave insane you say this is home then tear down the flag your heritage unknown yet willing to brag you ask for no lies then don't believe truth you ask for more money our debt's through the roof you look for happiness and you long for peace you hold onto a grudge but you need release you say you're a dreamer but you don't believe that we can do anything that we can perceive

contradictions & hypocrisy
You're ****** and doomed. Your soul's not saved. Virtue-signal all you want... the road to Folly, fully paved is Fool's Gold gleaming all the way. Virtue's valiant vanguard, you... the banner of surrender waved; Facebook-friendly memes of mention pointing to your selfish cause: socially just desserts. Attention paid to certain liberal flaws. Virtue-signalling to the flock gesturing, gesticulating; hieroglyphics of deceit. You're up for take-down, ours to mock, bleating to your followers, prating— well-assured in your conceit.

Sophomoric Semaphoric
**** the torpedoes! Full Speed AHEAD!" So it is we lose our heads And trust the masses Whose rabble rise To stick their fingers In our eyes. Freire told us true: Dialogue must happen; Time must be taken To speak Truth, To hear Truth, To see Humanity In the Other. If not, Violences ensue, Blood spills, The hordes topple In toppling their oppressors... Become oppressors. Still, Small voices Whisper "Imago Dei!" "Imago Dei!" Stop to listen, Stop to see, Stop to think. We and They, They and We, Are We.... Are WE.

Critical Race Theory
If we were all such clowns we would actually understand, that when fear is suppressed and called hate, is when war is disposed of. Oh how ignorant of you to blame the Coyote, who gave you life, and brought all opportunities to you. The hierarchy should be based on trust... this is something that the Coyote knows. I think you know. As you scream in the wilderness, all profanities man has known. Dare I say you care too much.(?) About not caring? perhaps? It is just so strong, how could it possibly be hate alone? no root of any tree, (evil or good,) can grow so deep alone. Yet your hate sits there solitary in your mind. And you...you don't mind The Coyote takes criticism to heart, but it means nothing. he simply uses it against you. Of course he would rather be a wolf, but what good is it to remind him of his big ears and short tail. Especially when you lack any emotional balance. He might seem weak, but we can all ride on the Coyotes back.

The Coyote
For some reason it seems that the people who most often attack racism, intolerance and bigotry, always embody those exact words.
