Want to see a fanatic?(hippypoet)



Want to see a fanatic?
A man who sees only black and white.
Whose resolve is thick to get up and fight.

Want to see a damned fanatic?
One that shouts and waves a clenched fist
like a lunatic half p*ss*d.

I know a young man like that,
that mobilizes hate faster than religion can.
That would have the freedom of faith
completely banned!

I know a man like that!
Who is faster to accuse than the inquisition.
Who loves to abuse in the name of his ambition.
A man who doubts the existance of god is sick,
this man is no hippy, he´s a fanatic!
