He throws a brick
Then hides his hand
Acting as if
He doesn’t understand
Why people are angry
That he wants to ban
Or otherwise
Kick out of this land

They’re leaning the lessons
That he wants to teach
And all in the name
Of having free speech
Clearly he’s found
His own special niche
In the public arena
That’s called overreach

Why are we surprised
When some demonstrate
Against a man
Who promotes hate
In the guise of
Having the freedom to state
Whatever he cares to
Despite the weight

He acts as if
We can’t see
That he has
The most culpability
More than others
If you ask me
So should we shut him down
Or just let him be
