I Think
You can be anything that you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
Can I think?
You can think like me.
Can I speak?
You can speak with my approval.
But you can be anything you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
I think gay is wrong.
I think abortion is evil.
I think-
No.
You can’t think that.
You can be anything you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
Can I think?
You can think like me.
Can I speak?
You can speak with my approval.
But you can be anything you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
I think gay is okay.
I think abortion can be a good thing.
I think-
No.
You can’t think that.
You can be anything you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
Can I think?
You can think like me.
Can I speak?
You can speak with my approval.
But you can be anything you want to be.
You can do anything you want to do.
I think I should use a firearm to defend myself.
I think weed should be legal.
I think-
No.
You can’t think that.
I can speak the way you want me to speak.
I can think what you want me to think,
But if I want to be different
I must act like I agree to not be hurt.
I think-
No.
I think-
No.
I think-
No.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white
Whether you agree with the left or the right.
You can be a social justice warrior
Or an anti-sjw, my point is this
Everyone is so busy pointing fingers and saying “you can do anything”
They forget that under their breath they are adding
“If it lines up with what I believe”
If you are for freedom, you should be for freedom for all
Not just those who agree with you
I Think...
