Why you need
To prove
Your manhood
In this way.
As you drive by
Shouting out
Various Homophobic
Racial
Or transphobic slurs.
Are you
So insecure
And scared
You need
To belittle others?
As you drink
Your favourite brand
Of liquid courage.
Before
Getting behind
The steering wheel.
A rite of passage
Many people experience
Growing up.
Call me
A hopeless dreamer.
Believing
You'll change
Your juvenile ways.
Maturing
From a pathetic man-child
To a responsible adult.
One hopes.
