Political Correctness

Political Correctness
By Franklin Price

Political correctness 
Is what it's all about
Makes me want to pull my hair
Run around and jump and shout

I ask myself what's happening?
Where is my right to speak?
Think it's not here any more
Years ago it reached its peak

I'm not in a minority
In color, creed, or sex
My opinions often viewed upon
As a curse or witch's hex

What happened to majority?
No longer is it cool
If I say I'm one of them
I'm something of a fool

The rich and the minorities
Now politically correct
You can tell by what is going on
By the causes and effect

Rule by the majority
If all considered in its view
Is politically correct for all
It's something we should do

We need to band together
Bring the masses to the fray
Be politically correct for all
As it was back in the day
