Fact and Feeling

 

 

What you see

May or may not be real,

What you feel

May be a fail.

 

What you know

May not be correct,

What you think you know?

Worse, may I inject.

 

Who you are

Must first be family,

What you are

Is definitely reality.

 

Our reality

We may change

But nature’s reality

Can’t be rearranged.

 

Fiction is fiction

And fact is fact,

The latter we’d better accept

And sensibly adapt.

 

It is folly to decide

To have a gender change

If you hate what you are

And feeling strange.

 

Impossible to change

One’s gender or sex,

One’s originality

Is permanently set.

 

Trapped in a body

And want to get out?

That is suicidal

Without a doubt.

 

Need I say more

About the previous verse?

Death is certain,

It is a curse.

 

 

Male and female-

God created two,

Matters not who you are

Or your view.

 

Much has changed

In a man’s thinking,

And in immoral decay

He is ever sinking.

 

Pretending to be God

He’s making a mess,

He has now gone as far

As gender-less.

 

A choice to be male

Or female,

Both or neither,

Cat, dog or whale.

 

To be who he feels

Or what he wants

And having achieved

Forever flaunts.

 

Neither fish nor fowl

Pseudo this or that

And at his whim or fancy

Changing right back.

 

What will happen

To the new ID cards?

To show all these identities

Will surely be hard.

 

And the rapid changes

Re this fluidity?

How do we treat

To this pseudo reality?

 

Countries sign on

To make it happen

And those against

Are being threatened.

 

Who you are

May not be who you be,

Fact and fiction

Changing constantly.

 

I pity the children

In our schools,

They may very well be

Educated fools.

 

What an oxy-!

Leave off moron!

Morons are counter-productive

To education.

 

Educated fool

Did not previously exist,

But modern-day law

Now insists.

 

What you see

Is not what you get,

More like what you see

Is what you accept.
