Political Correctness
Virtue (stood upon its head) decried the lack of dignity
Logic (twisted, tortured, wronged) confessed suspect validity
Honour closed its eyes denial easier than arguing
As antistrophic chorus rang from madding crowds like caroling
Self-inflicted lynched themselves as vigilantes took their prize
And all the while some people wondered if we humans realize
Pendulums are meant to swing, so we should view this with concern
The further we compel the thing … the stronger, harder it returns
