Political Correctspeak
It seems the English language, is changing day by day,
The things we read, things we write, and mostly what we say.
New words are coined, and tossed about, for everyone to hear,
In just ten years, the language has, changed too much I fear.
A "Sex Trade Worker" on display, for all the passing
lookers,
What happened to the days gone by, we used to call them "Hookers".
Other terms are catching on, and some are mighty sad,
The "Male Parental Figure" is, the fellow I call "Dad".
How far can this be taken, is a question you may ask,
Let's try and see what names we get, when put onto the task.
"Sobriety Challenged" is the term, what a load of bunk,
To me that guy will always be, a smelly, stinking, "Drunk".
A nodding "Junkie" in the lane, using these new terms,
"Substance Abuser" now correct, oh what a can of worms.
And the "Dealer" who is selling, the "Junkie"
his supply,
Becomes his "Substance Provider", just an ordinary guy.
What of the lowly "Burglar", should he get a brand new
name?
How 'bout an "Entry Specialist", in keeping with their
game.
Or, why not call a "Rioter", a "Person Having Fun",
Better yet, a "Sniper" is, "A Technician With A
Gun".
In longing for the days gone past, I fear I'm growing old,
But then again, because of it, my actions are more bold.
Instead of using their own term, "Bovine Byproduct"
it,
I prefer to think of terms gone by, a load of pure "Bullshit".
