No, More Opinions
If I rant about race
I’m racist.
If I speak on sex
I’m sexist.
I convey a hearty compliment
I’m sexually harassing.
I speak of stature
I’m body shaming.
I pronounce on politics
I’m partisan.
I fight for liberty
I’m a terrorist.
The line these days to tread so fine.
All my intentions positive
Now misconstrued negative.
Hence now I promise pledge
Not to err by airing my views
But all in my mind to restfully reside.
But when my mouth does breaks its seal
And an opinion does decide to depart
And often it will intentionally do, I PRAY.
I’m sure a suit I will land
With damages to pay
Only if imprisonment slips away.
This, I don’t mind anyway.
By then the truths’ travelled realms,
Seen ears and felt eyes,
Heard brains and pondered hearts.
My soul’s aim achieved.
