Cancel Culture

When Cancel Culture comes to town What more is there to do? Do you fight, or just give in? It’s always up to you. But if we bow before the woke Our heads will surely roll As they demand their pound of flesh And so collect the toll. And if we rise and take the bait We’ll lose again as well It’s just the way the game is rigged As history does tell. So fare thee well I say to you Who cancel all in fear, While I retreat into the hills And keep my powder near. For one day soon as dawn does come You’ll wake up with a start To realize all you did and said Was nothing but a fart. (8/31/22, originally published in my 6th book, OUT OF TIME OUT OF MIND, 2022)
