Against Veneration

one could swear it’s just merriment.
what has this ever solved?
of what use is freedom not free?
what ‘evidence for’ do we have?

while others sleep at night,
some are chanting songs,
dancing and paying homage,
one could swear it’s just merriment.

of all the vices we live with,
which has cultism not fueled?
of what use is a river that doesn’t flow?
what has this ever solved?

they claim to fight for liberation
swing swords and pour libations,
live at night and hide at dawn,
of what use is freedom not free?

if what you do is what is right,
why then force a ‘jew’ to join?
it’s mere stupidity and you are fools.
what ‘evidence for’ do we have?
