'Easy to say' or 'Easy to damn' or 'Aphorisms, more'

'Easy to say' or 'Easy to damn' or 'Aphorisms, more' timothy r gates, 10/10/2010

Easy to say, 'Jew,'

regarding financial thrift,

until you know a Jew.

Easy to say the 'N' word,

until you no longer only walk

in beige neighborhoods.

Easy to say, wives should stay at home,

until you're not paying the bills.

Easy to say homosexuals are damned,

until your gay friend (?) kills themselves.

Easy to say anything,

regarding anyone,

if you only believe in the survival of the strongest.

Easy to damn another,

by religion or science,

if you choose not to breathe the same air.

Easy to love,

unless you choose to hate.


note:I hear, common, young people, 20-, saying racial impregnated words, misogynist as well as male-hating descriptives as nouns of supposed endearments, adding to this anti-religious and pro-religious (depending on your tastes or lack) rhetoric, with the ease of cursing people in someone's divinity's name without a skip. They're either learning it at home, where the truth of one's beliefs are seen, or they're reviving this hatred. Either way, I pray that we cease preying upon one another.
