Talk About the Weather
The rules are simple
The rules are clear
Talk about the weather
But no politics here
Talk about the wind
Talk about the rain
But never, ever
Bring up social pain
Talk about the sunshine
Talk about the clouds
But don’t bring up
The political crowds
If you do
Best you prepare
Cause things get hot
And tempers will flare
Can’t no one speak
What they truly think
Cause fights break out
Quicker than a blink
Civil discourse
Is dead and buried
Replaced with rhetoric
And the hatred that’s carried
So talk about the weather
Talk about the sky
Regarding politics
No opinion is the lie
But if your position
You must speak of with pride
Be ready to burn
In that molten divide
Hot lava awaits
On the other side
