Where do society's extremists abide?
Rallies and Racists go side by side.
BBQs offer up well-done bigots;
On Jordan's lap dance the zealots.
Dogmatists rant in wild front rows,
True believers don't put on such shows?
Sexists cower in coastal Compounds,
Sects marry often in Salt Lake towns.
Troglodytes tan beneath southern suns.
Sepratists hold their final stand
On this side of The Rio Grande;
Fanatics occupy far Left and Right,
Partisans Op Eds are meant to enlight.
Mysoginists grab till they have blisters,
Huns and louts date brothers and sisters.
Philistines take our private spaces,
And whistle-blowers can't show their faces.

Of all the ists I know and abhor,
The musicist is a bigoted boor;
A connoisseur I abjure,
Who chooses tunes he insists
Are superior than my interests,
And disses tunes I like best.

So now I'll lay my needle down,
I've turned the table that goes round,
And plead musicists won't hesitate
To enjoy the tunes... don't discriminate.
I needed to get this on paper. I have a friend who is a musicist. He drides Motown, blues, jazz, classical, country, hip hop, rap... you name it. All he listens to is folk and classic rock.

I talk about a purpose that needs to be unearthed
We talk about equality why is that subject so disturbing
Why do the racists and mysoginists defend their kin
Has ethics been so foregone they find power in their skin
Have standards fallen so low we have power in the *** organs given
I cant take it much less can i explain it
Two wrongs dont make a right so where are they trying to take this
Im deciphering a code thats they cant spell out to themselves
Doing the worst cause its programmed in their brain cells
What happens when they take a bite from the poisoned tree
Does it change their perspective or make them flee
We live in society that takes pride in our ideals
Whichever side it falls on opinions are revered
And i cant stand it how can we be so naive
We cant respect what has no right to exist
Much less can we respect the argument they profess
We need to stop riding the wave and go against the tide
Before we drift back to a more evil time
A time where ****** moved millions
A time where women only cared for their children
Why cant we open our minds and our hearts
Escape a past that has potential to be forgot
But lives on in society mistakes never taught
We must take mankind forward before the future is fraught
With the injustices we shouldve left dying in drought
Had an argument about male privilege with a friend and this is all that came out of it but theres so much more to be said.
