Inconsequential Diatribe
Inconsequential diatribe
From politicians left and right
Is something we should not inscribe
Across our children's line of sight.
Polarity can paralyze
When adulation of conceit
Allows some not to realize
Opposing views must all compete.
Diversity has made us great
Along with freedom to believe
Or not believe in God and fate
To justify what we conceive.
Inherent in democracy
Is freedom from oppressive weight
That rules like some autocracy
Imposed upon us by the state.
Religion is a private right
To be defended by us all;
But mixed with politics, a blight,
That causes governments to fall.
So take a breath of freedom's air
And celebrate diversity;
Both gay or straight and dark or fair
Rejoice in your nobility.
