Poem
Once there was a smallish town where the people all lived free, it could be raucous at times, as free folks are wont to be. But into this came a man who said, “We must do better, some who speak do hurt us all, let’s silence them forever!” He brought a crowd together, dragged a man out and did voice: “This man thinks some folks are poor because they made a bad choice. So little compassion here, what should we do with him now?” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the roaring of the crowd. He brought another man up, then pronounced to all of them: “This man thinks that the unborn mean more than living women! Hard to imagine such things, what shall we do with him now?” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the roaring of the crowd. “And this man thinks we’re helpless, We can’t cool the climate down!” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the roaring of the crowd. “And this guy thinks firearms should forever be around.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the roaring of the crowd. “And this guy thinks that children should school at home, not in town.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the roaring of the crowd. “And this guy thinks it’s okay to have skin other then brown.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the shouting of the crowd. “And this guy thinks deities reign with a heavenly crown!” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the shouting of the crowd. “And this fellow thinks hard work should make a person feel proud.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the shouting of the crowd. “And this one thinks that marriage is something we should avow?!” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the clamor of the crowd. “This guy thinks that your children should be raised in your own house.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came the clamor of the crowd. “And this one thinks property is a right that is endowed.” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” Came the clamor of the crowd. “This one thinks to government not everything should be bound!” “Cancel him! Yes, cancel him!” came some voices from the crowd. CONCLUDES IN PART II.
