Ban the Burka
Tryst Feb 2017
Ban the burka or the bomb?
Ban the turban or the gun?
Ban the Bible or the gore?
Ban the Torah or the war?

Ban religion, ban belief
Ban San Frontièrs, ban relief
Ban the poets, ban free speech
Ban the people born to teach

Ban the children, ban the old
Ban the meek and ban the bold
Ban the weakest, ban the strong
Ban the music, ban the song

Ban the freedom of the sea
Ban ideals of liberty
Ban your birthright, ban free will
Ban excitement, ban the thrill

Ban all things with no misgiving
Ban the joyous gift of living.

Ban this
Ban that
You can’t have this
You can’t have that
That’s offensive
That’s not right
This is why our world
Will end up in a fight
If you don’t like it
Turn it off
Don’t watch
Don’t listen
If you don’t like something
Don’t do it
Don’t eat it
What is wrong with people lately?
We all believe in something different
We all eat different food
Listen to different music
Like different things
Watch different tv or movies
Do different activities
Why can’t we all just enjoy our differences
Not ban things that others love
Ban this
Ban that
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Let’s show some respect
As most of us will stay connect(ed)
Let’s face the facts
Bring kindness and love back
