Love and Tolerance is Dead

Once Upon A Time in the magical land of the real world

A pretty big fandom blew up on a show ostensibly made for little girls

And being who we are we came up with certain memes and things

To differentiate ourselves

As I've looked back over these past few handful of years

This phrase folks spouted to me never really seemed sincere

I mean sure it's a nice idea but once you add in the fact we're all human beings

Well you know how that goes, so I say

Love and tolerance is dead

I wanna find something else instead

Something that's a little bit more real

For me and you

This is not a social revolution

Of which a single model offers a single solution

Some things you shouldn't tolerate

Some people cannot be loved

Now don't misunderstand me I'm not saying we should all quit and jump ship

To whatever flavor of the month fandom currently hip

Oh no I still love these little horses and that right there'll never change

Oh no it won't

I just think those three little words really have dropped the ball

Because as the show has taught us one size does not fit all

As for what we should use instead

Well you're gonna have to ask someone smarter than me filly

Cuz all I know is

Love and tolerance is dead

I wanna find something else instead

Something that's a little bit more real

For me and you

No this is not a call to disavow

This is a hoofsmack meant to drag us into now

The legacy of before doesn't have to remain

Yeah the past is gone now

We gotta move on now, we gotta move on

The time is ours to take up the reins

And rewrite all the rules

I know that change can be scary

But we should be wary of trotting in place

And that's why I say Love and Tolerance is Dead

Yeah, I know that change can be scary

But we should be wary of trotting in place

And that's why I say Love and Tolerance is Dead!
