Poem
A man came here to speak today, students did not like him at all, egged of by professors, quite enraged, with no decency at all. They claim we should ‘hear all sides,’ but when this man dared to speak, they rioted and the police arrived to end their fit of pique. How delightfully tyrannical. A man knelt down in quiet prayer outside, during his break from work. A coworker cried,”Can’t do that there!” and proceeded to go berserk. Yet when Khalil did the same, facing east to find Mecca, coworker said,”Respect their culture! You have too, it’s the law!” How delightfully tyrannical. A boy applied to university, his scores were of highest rank. but his skin was too pale, you see, and the admissions team, it stank. It dropped him for a darker hue, so it could claim it was ‘diverse.’ the poor boy was completely screwed by academics quite perverse. How delightfully tyrannical. A businessman forgot to check a small box on his tax returns. Little then did he suspect that this would get him burned. Others, he knew, had been let go for making such a small mistake, but he did not have ‘correct’ politics, and down came the weaponized state. How delightfully tyrannical. A newsman made Reifenstahl proud when he targeted a small café, who’s owner had said out loud that his faith wasn’t keen on gays. So that ‘objective’ media man spread this guy’s private views around. Protestors beat him till he couldn’t stand, then left him lying on the ground. How delightfully tyrannical. They all come with smiles, big and broad, they say ‘history is on our side,’ but if you do anything but applaud they’ll crow that you should die. Try to explain freedom to them, they’ll proclaim you’re a fascist fool. Try to explain individuality and they’ll declare you racists too. How delightfully tyrannical. Sic semper tyrannis…
