Politically Correct

I am...

P oliteness overdone;

O ffense over everything and everyone;

L iberation---in a box.

		I am 

I nversely orthodox.


		I am...

T ruth (as defined by me);

I ntolerance of those who dare to disagree;

C ritical but not constructive.

		I am 

A bstract and unproductive.


		I am...

L ogic in a loop;

L abels to create a thousand factious groups;

Y outhful idealism exploited.

		I am

C onceited and anointed.


		I am...

O bfuscation to beguile;

R emorseless as the tears of a crocodile;

R estriction of dissenting voices.

		I am the

E rosion of your rights and choices.


		I am...

C ontrol---for utopian bliss;

		I am

T yranny's vampire kiss.

Great bulls eye. No one should set out to offend others or tolerate extremism, though to make one scared to speak for fear of being labelled is equally unacceptable. You might like my poem 'beware those who are not' Regards David in NZ
