Why I’ll Never Be P.C.

Ask for my opinion

Then say how do I dare

Ask me to state my beliefs

And dismiss me with haughty stare

Some have said of me

I suffer not fools

Can’t say I don’t disagree

I just blame their gene pools

I know one day I may regret

This unfiltered way of mine

And though I can be gentle too

A sharp pen strengthens my spine

Some ask me to hide this true face

And though I get it I cannot do it

In the face of intellectual idiocy

I must admit this fire is lit

So if I sometimes offend you

I hope you’ll meet me in the middle

And find it sometimes refreshing

That I’ll never feed you a riddle

So pardon me for saying it

Soon free speech will die

Those like me will be swept away

For being unable to accept a lie

And you’ll exist in false unity

In a fantasy world of glass

Transparent as a gravestone

With freedom six feet under the grass

From my grave I’ll not weep

For my soul’s not bound there

But if you without Christ fall asleep

You’ll wake beyond and find you care  

So if this spurs an angry thought

And you feel you’d like to talk

Let’s meet somewhere with open hearts

And take an impactful walk

Don’t dismiss what you don’t understand

Is something you always ask of me

But for once the tables are turned

I hope open minded you’ll be

For you see the One I follow

Says that for those who truly seek

He is not afraid of your doubt

Nor will He fail to speak

He’ll break through the ice

And melt your heart of stone

His truth will set you free

From this prison of flesh and bone

And the chains that have held you

Invisible and yet still so real

Like blindness will fall away

And your life they’ll no longer steal

So if you never listened to me

Never even once before

May you hear me just this one time

I pray you open up your heart’s door

Ignore my imperfect words for once

But hear the not so P.C. message this one time

The one who knocks on your heart’s door

Offers you eternal peace that’s sublime

One day I hope you’ll forgive me

My persistence you’ll understand

That if I’m convinced of the truth

I have to preach it throughout the land
