Prerogatives

Diverse ideas vie for fecund place In my mind and heart these days, Every new thought sees the next As an invasive unwelcome guest. And being a democratic fella at heart, I just wouldn't wish to play major part As judge if privilege and freedoms be Basis why litigious kinsmen disagree. To every thought there's natural right Enshrined in legal folios beyond fight: Any idea may claim an acre of mind, In any random astute brain they find. And so I a respecter of sacred things Such as fragile rights of mute beings, Must let every instreaming opinion in; And call null their war and brutish din. For, has not every sovereign thinker, Rights of their own to soundly tinker, And censor apt and odd notion alike, That within their wild cranium spike?
