A certain group put on a guise,
dressed up like angels of light
or gallant knights
Pretended they were so concerned,
for black people’s civil rights
but in the end, it was a grift
and it turned out, they lied
to take advantage of tragedies
for their own gain
and cause a great divide
By: J.N.R Dutton
You put a round in a chamber
(of your heart)
It ripped through & left a hole,
ripped people’s world apart
and all through the night
try as they might, that heart
couldn’t be restarted
What drove you to it,
you never left a note that said,
did you think of the hearts you’d break
when they found you dead?
or did you just think nobody really Loved you?
Did you think life wasn’t fair?
Would it have made a difference,
if more people let you know they cared?
By: J.N.R Dutton
America was founded on
the principle of limited government
That set up was deliberate
These days though many have forgotten it
& they think we need the government
to babysit our every move, doesn’t it
make you sick to your stomach?
I cannot support that nonsense
By: J.N.R Dutton
I’ve spoken out against the so called “woke” before
Explaining & clarifying my position
at this point has become a chore
There are two different common usages of the word
I’ve heard, especially lately
One is being aware and concerned w/genuine
troubling issues in society
as I’ve mentioned THAT’S fine by me
but another involves whining, lunacy,
and pushing and pandering to a victimhood mentality
and THAT’S the one I’ll keep challenging, unapologetically

There’s a poet that I heard today
He had some really hard hitting things to say
Listening to him I knew I couldn’t & wouldn’t
walk away unchanged
I thought a lot of what he said was incredibly brave
I especially love that he refused to cave
To those who wanted him to shut it down
& threatened to ruin his good name
Speaking truth to power was more important to him
than any glory, fortune, or fame

America isn’t perfect, I know,
Still, it’s come along way
and we may still have a ways to go,
People saying “burn it down”
are the insane people I oppose
It’s important to take
a stand against those
By:J.N.R Dutton
This wisdom is timeless,
true in the present as it was in the past
Ordinary ignorance is bad,
but mad aggressively militant ignorance
will destroy a great civilization fast
By:J.N.R Dutton
Who will take a stand for the lost generations
Who have been murdered in the womb?
That place that was supposed to be
their safest haven,
coldly turned into a tomb
Who will stand against the evil,
& say, “no, this we’ll not allow”
we need to cut it down now
Who will speak out?
By:J.N.R Dutton
If the land of the free is to survive
These chaotic troubled times
People have to take a stand
For what they know is right
They can’t be on the sidelines,
can’t sit on the fence,
Saying “it’s someone else’s problem”
and wallowing in willful ignorance
By:J.N.R Dutton
Too many people these days act like “anything goes”
The dangers of such a mindset in the culture shows,
There is a such thing as wrong & right,
darkness & Light
& we all reap just what we sow
By:J.N.R Dutton
