A Generation of Liars
I hate niggers
Every Muslim is a terrorist
Gay people are faggots
Light skinned people are better humans
This is how some people feel
This is what they would say if their real emotions were laid bare for you to see
And thanks to the internet we get to see the real face of humanity
All its repressed racism and hatred for each other is vented
This is where all those years of oppression are mended
In plain sight disgusting comments vile statements but to me its honesty
Instead of this fake mask people are forced to wear
When did it become a law that you have to care
I prefer everyone to just be truthful
Because now we punish those who speak their mind
The ones who speak from their racist hearts
We force them to stand in front of the public’s eye and apologize
A bullshit apology for honest emotions it’s insanity
But before that apology there is a meeting
I wonder what they tell you
Right after you’ve gone viral
Right after the realization that it spiraled out of control
When you’re words reached every household
And yours is a story repeatedly told
What do they tell you in in that little room
Do they sit you down and give you a script they prepared for you
Or do they tell you to speak from the heart
Nah because that was the start in the first place
Now we are doing damage control saving face
We have to hold a press conference
We have to ensure people see your sincerity
Everyone knows its a lie but you still have to do it
Because after that the people will forgive you
What exactly is the message here
Don’t say anything that might offend someone and if you get caught just apologize and its OK
So in other words it’s OK to be racist as long as you don’t get caught
Well I’m tired of it
All were doing is raising a generation of liars
People who need to hide their real intentions behind a facade of being politically correct
People who smile in your face but silently despise
Think about it we live in a world where we don’t just accept but expect to be told lies
Hell we even invented guidelines
The proper way to be
Just once I would like to get a mail telling me I didn’t get the job cause I’m black
The reason you crossed the street is because I’m big and have dreads
The reason you gripped your purse tighter is because your scared
Just once I would love for the police to stop me and tell me I look suspicious simply because I’m black
That he wants to hurt me choke me out and then take me back
Just once i would love to live in a world of honesty
Instead of always guessing which is which
Just once
This piece is called A Generation of Liars because I feel like that is what we are creating here. A Generation of Liars is what our kids will be, if they seeing us accepting lies as the truth. A Generation of Liars is what we currently are, after years of a society telling us that we can simply apologize for our mistakes EVEN if we don’t mean it. A Generation of Liars is what this world will revolve around, A Generation of Liars is what this society will be built upon, and its sad. Truly sad that we expect people to lie. Its sad that we expect people to deceive us. So I want to fight this generation of liars. I don’t want to have A Generation of Liars in charge of society. I don’t want to have A Generation of Liars deceiving us with nonsense.
