Gone too far now
To turn back the clock
Should I even want to
I made sure there was a lock
As change is not ever easy
Even toward a better accommodation
Where appreciation may be
Forthcoming for efforts of inspiration
That too often fly by on silent wings
Just a slight whisper in the wind

Completely unnoticed by the robotic drones
So reliant on the mass acceptance
And always wary of deviant freethinkers
 keeping watch so no one ever condones

But by God ! to hear them speak
The pride exuded for their upgrade
They always feel that they are so open minded
actually achieved by norms of life not obeyed??

And this... they truly seem to believe
I don't argue anymore
I don't attempt to show them any light
I just... Sadly I say this
I just get up and leave

Believe what it is you want to believe
I have absolutely no problem there
Until that belief comes full circle
And you believe in free and open speech
Allows you to post such things as
That fellow burning the American flag
Should I see him doing it I'll shoot him in the head that very spot

Or the woman who posted
Any veteran who votes for Hillary Clinton
Should have their right hand chopped off
And hundreds liked and agreed

I'm aghast at what people so often speak aloud
But I'm absolutely mortified by what they actually post
If only they would take a second or two
To look at what they actually wrote
And then really really really succeed
In being able to actually read!!!
