I've been arguing with a liberal and this was inspired by him. Liberals are always so pure of heart and angry (except for the pure of heart part, but they believe they are).

The Angry Man

9/12/23

He was a young man, healthy, ruddy, and tan
standing arrow straight as he valiantly defended the gate
pure of heart, pure of mind
he left everyone behind
seeking what he could not find

He was true and he was proud
he eschewed the lowly crowd
he knew better even without facts
warding off all their attacks
his life a crusade of selfless acts

demanding more than any could give
he fought so hard he forgot to live
He knew the enemy when it was seen
he fiercly fought it, scrubbed it clean
the slightest bit he found obscene
the years they passed in his crusade
he slew them all with his holy blade
always conquering but never a victory
he never realized it was contradictory
his life sped by fighting others iniquity

The ruddy young man ramrod straight with the tan
turned ashen gray, bent of spine, feet of clay
but still every day in his obstinate way
he blamed everyone else and swore they would pay
he still trudged into the fray

Now a geriatric, he was palsied and sick
his legs wobbly and weak, his feet just like a brick
he had lost all his youth, burned the whole candle wick
and he wondered why
he had to know before he'd die
was it all just a trick

who was it that ruined his life
who was it that slipped in the knife

for the first time without fear he knew the enemy near
and he looked in the mirror
the view was quite clear

it was so plain to see that the enemy had always been he
