How Can You Be Neutral?

How can you be you neutral and never chose to take a side,

This world is not a fast food restaurant, with a menu to decide.

You cannot be neutral, in this time of forever war,

When the guns feed the rich, and cheap bullets kill the poor.

You cannot be neutral, when troops kill the homeless starving,

When skeletons queue for food, and others are laughing.

You cannot be neutral, when the ill wait in long lines for their health,

Whilst politicians take slide money, to enhance their own wealth.

You cannot be neutral, when people lie straight to your face,

When people are fake, and ignore your world or your place.

You cannot be neutral, when thugs tool innocent folk up,

When dinlows and idiots, fill this beautiful world with their muck.

So I can’t be neutral, this world is fucked up, way too much,

I can’t just smile when I pass you, and grab my own crutch.

So I spend my time in debate, with anarchists, the cancelled, and spies,

And maybe one day people will bother, to open their closed eyes.
