Coping With Cancel Culture

Instruction which refuses to clearly break through
bigotry has no place in a person’s world view.
Mock training which teaches selective tolerance
eclipses the sure light that honest study grants.
Copious clouds of questions are left unanswered;
bewildering our brains so beliefs become blurred.
To own one’s education needs safe oversight;
hardened clay can not be remolded overnight.
One’s free exercise of spirit, mind and body
must allow other folks the same autonomy.
