[Police were called to a New Jersey school after a student accused another student of racism for calling brownies brownies. In defense of the police no one was arrested]
Brownies are sweet, tasty and brown,
but New Jersey’s schools hear this with a frown.
Color’s off color, don’t you know--
mention it, and the Thought Police
will have you in tow.
Blondies are sweet and a bit greasy--
a tasty snack, not a girl who’s easy.
But better call them cake, or you’ll be dissed
as someone who is completely sex-ist.
Anything you say can and will be held against you--
mot just by the cops, but by those you thought you knew.
It’s the days of Stalin, or “1984” from Orwell;
better watch what you say; they might be listening in the stairwell.
Once we all worshipped the First Amendment.
Now "politically correct" has gone beyond heavy-handed.
Use only approved phrases, or outcast will be your fate--
Political Correctness destroyed a country once great.

An Orwellian term
used by self-righteous hypocrites
hiding behind a cloak of morality.
Wake up.
Political correctness controls the narrative
by shaming and suppressing.
It forces upon us
the “one true” ideological orthodoxy.
It eliminates decent and
makes people lie and self-censor their words.
Stand up.
We must allow others to speak
and voice their thoughts.
Some might be stupid,
so let’s expose their faults.
Some might be outrageous,
so let’s pause and defuse.
Some might be hurtful and mean
so let’s self-reflect and steel ourselves.
Speak up.
Political correctness leads to sameness
contrary to the individualism
it pretends to protect.
It is a road into slavery.
First the slavery of your mind
and later slavery of your body.
