They Told Us To Hate... Poem by David Welch

The told us to hate all people
who were born with real pale skin,
as if lacking pigmentation
was like an original sin.
Though these people had done nothing,
they cried out, "Look to the past!
These people killed and they had slaves,
So we must hate them all, and fast! "
But folks are individuals,
free to choose what's right and wrong,
so how can they be hated for
actions done by people long gone?
Would you throw a man in prison
for something his grandfather did?
When did guilt become genetic,
to be saddled upon the kids?
And what color of human kind
didn't own slaves at one time?
Wouldn't we have to hate them all
if we're to think upon these lines?
And the worlds greatest murderers
were Ghengis Khan and Mao Ze-dong,
does that mean I should hate Asians,
and place the blame on every one?
Yet they all still keep saying it,
and to me it makes no sense,
not to mention it would cost me
a boatload of my best friends.
I won't hold folks responsible
for what was done at a past date,
by people who are now long dead,
I will not be told who to hate.

Then they told us we should hate
all human beings who are male,
proclaimed that we all were toxic,
and everything we do would fail.
Somehow half of the human race
now was not supposed to exist,
unless we would neuter ourselves,
then they'd ‘allow' us to persist.
But masculine and feminine
are older than humanity,
and to ignore evolution
is just blind stupidity…
I mean look at the great buildings built,
it was done mostly by men,
and soldiers who protect us all,
overwhelmingly male again.
If they're a toxic threat to us,
then someone please answer why
those hated males will risk it all
and for their families will die?
Why, if they are horrible,
do some women try to transform
their bodies to male facsimiles,
if men are all to be scorned?
The same people who despise us
think that we all should jump for joy
when some mentally ill woman
tries to declares themself a boy.
I don't think I will demonize
half of the bloody human race,
the masculine is quite sublime,
I will not be told who to hate.

They told us to hate those people
who take a risk to make profit,
that instead we should idolize
those who say they're socialist.
Bu t I look a their history,
and it's utterly insane,
just blood, and death, and prison camps
wherever their ideas did rein.
Twenty-five million Russian souls,
sixty-five million Chinese,
and all they brought to those who lived
was oppression and poverty.
Even within our own cities,
where the far-left runs roughshod,
we see feces, typhus, and decay;
once great towns now just left to rot.
Detroit has become a ruin,
San Francisco smells of dung,
Los Angeles covered in trash,
the Golden State has gone all bunk.
That's what they want me to worship?
It's a plague that should be abhorred,
besides that, it's immoral to
have economics based on force.
The capitalist freely trades,
both sides agree or it's no-go,
price itself becomes a language
so all of the people can know
how much something may be valued,
what is and is not in demand,
giving them a general idea,
so they can make a living, plan.
And the mass of competition
responds to the people's needs,
does not need to be ‘ordered to, '
it responds automatically.
It's what lifted civilization,
there's no arguing with that,
without it we'd still ride horses,
and electricity we'd lack.
Those fools want us to reject this,
when it makes our nation great?
I'll save my rage for leftists that
dare try to tell me who to hate.

Those judgments are mine alone.
