We live in a world where words have less meaning
Where truth holds less value
And compassion stretches only as far as a smile
We live in a world where language has been wielded
As tools to brand others
To twist meanings until nothing can be decipherable
We live in a world where those who wield power
Get to define the terms
And get to label others as they see fit
Words and language have become weapons of hate
Tools for misogyny
And vessels for racism
And as I have lived my life
It has been fascinating
To see how words have shifted
Boundaries have shifted
And now we teeter
On the cusp before insanity
We live in a country
That wields that power
To define what an enemy is
We live in a reality
Where the definition for "criminal" or "terrorist"
Can be dealt, traded, and bought
And though you may not live within
Their current definition
Of enemy of the state
If you open your mouth in protest
They shall surely redefine the words and definitions
To hunt you
Persecute you
And finally get what they always wanted from you in the beginning:
Subservience Through your Delicious Silence
