Talk About the Weather

The rules are simple The rules are clear Talk about the weather But no politics here Talk about the wind Talk about the rain But never, ever Bring up social pain Talk about the sunshine Talk about the clouds But don’t bring up The political crowds If you do Best you prepare Cause things get hot And tempers will flare Can’t no one speak What they truly think Cause fights break out Quicker than a blink Civil discourse Is dead and buried Replaced with rhetoric And the hatred that’s carried So talk about the weather Talk about the sky Regarding politics No opinion is the lie But if your position You must speak of with pride Be ready to burn In that molten divide Hot lava awaits On the other side
