The Right Way

The Right Way

There is an alternative world to be had.

Sometimes it’s a little out of focus, yes,

But it is there and it is real.

It is a world where you choose your reality.

It is a world devoid of corroboration –

Facts mean little in the face of belief.

It is a world that explains your bias as a mystery,

And is now a truth.

It is a world that allows all sins forgivable,

Given the right bank account.

It is a world that lets you choose comfortable lies,

In place of facts that damage your mellow.

It is a world where violence is sold openly,

And candies offend.

It is a world where your god bends to your will,

And righteousness has nothing to do with right.

It is a world that will wrap you in the comfort of easy assurance,

A world that will concede your every wrong is your right,

As long as you are wrong to the right people.

It is a world where you can do whatever,

And fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

It is a world that is easy to enter:

It’s just a step to the right.
