Semantic Intolerance
I remember this word, when it was a veritable curse;
It spoke of actions, beliefs, feelings and ideas that were
reprehensible and indefensible, only worthy of our condemnation
I remember when it was a vile and shameful descriptor;
It was synonymous for ignorance, hate, injustice, inhumanity
It was abhorrent, it was unforgivable, it was.....intolerable
Intolerance..... what has become of you?
