Facial Justice Warriors

We’ll fight.  We’ll shout for justice for the face.

We hate.  We’ll take the ugly by the hand

And we, unsightly members of our race,

Against sweet symmetry, we’ll take a stand. 

The gorgeous must be stopped and we demand

Society eliminates all trace

Of beauty.  “Long live plainness and the bland.”

We’ll fight.  We’ll shout for justice for the face.

“Brutalism trumps grace!”

The pretty and the classical, the grand,

The handsome, none are welcome in this place.

We hate.  We’ll take the ugly by the hand,

And lecture them and make them understand

They must despise all elegance, debase

The currency of beauty, in this land

And we, unsightly members of our race,

Must make the cute redundant and disgrace

Those who’d employ them, as they can’t command

Respect.  The reign of beauty we’ll replace,

Against sweet symmetry, we’ll take a stand.

The plain alone shall breed and thus expand

Equality - reduction to the lowest base.

We’ll get the children too, there’ll be no strand

Of difference left.  We’ll work at Herod’s pace.

We’ll fight for justice.
