Irony in Action


We'd just as easily hang each other with the chain around our necks

And continue to burn our brothers because they're the ones having sex

Why are we so quick to damn every young child that loses his way

When all he needs is a gentle hand to show him that it's okay

And our generation still claims that we're changing for the better

As we're waiting in line to receive yet another scarlet letter
