Dirty Little Secrets

so they call me a “Liberal”
i don’t believe in their lies
i don’t believe that “family”
gives men the power to tyrannize

i don’t believe that money
will trickle down from the rich
i don’t believe in the greedy
i know they think i’m a bitch

i don’t believe homosexuals
pose a threat to anyone
i don’t believe that keeping quiet
is going to help right the wrong

i don’t think your religion
stands up to my scrutiny
a long history of oppression
is right there for all to see

i don’t believe in racism
things are never black or white
i don’t believe in sexism
it’s not your god-given right

so they call me a “Liberal”
am i supposed to feel shame?
i don’t believe in your labels
but i’ll be proud of that name
