The Cost Of “Cheap “, By Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

Men, don’t come to me when
Your daughter, mother or sister
End up in a situation that’s grim
In the parking lot at the E.R.

Or bleeding out on the bathroom floor
But hey, paid less for that gallon and got more
And that milk and bread at the grocery store
Are worth your loved ones suffering and dying

I would be lying if I said, your right to vote
Only affects you, you damned well know that’s not true
It is always about you, isn’t it, you cant be a man
Unless there is a woman, or a minority
That is subordinate to you

We all heard what he said on that bus
But you don’t want me to make a fuss
It’s ok that he went backstage
At a beauty pageant of the underage

But you got that cheaper gas
Not caring that our planet won’t last
As long as that orange misogynist
Puts all white men at the top of the list

You’ll ignore all the crimes he’s done
Grab your bible and grab a gun
Christian Taliban will be so fun
Innocent migrants on the run

Don’t you get it, you have no clue
All the damage that he will do
Because you stupidly believe it’s true
That he actually gives one shit about you

One Austrian man promised Germany the world
Promised them all that he would do good
That they were the victims and only he could win
And that’s when the vilification thus began

The gypsies and the infirmed were among the first
Political rivals were top on his list
Mass deportation of Jews he started the chain
Then he graduated to the psychotically insane

The chambers will come if we ignore the fire
He is no friend of freedom’s desire
The cost of cheap will be your life
It has already started with the females in your life

It won’t stop at Hispanics or Haitians or Blacks
We’ve seen this scapegoating in Hitler’s attacks
I hope you enjoy your short victory
But it is a cheap mirage masking dark history.
