Zero Tolerance Buzzwords
Zero Tolerance is a prime example
Of the all-too common phenomenon
Of weasel words -words are words
designed to limit critical thinking
they sound good but they limit
one’s ability to see the real truth
behind the lie
George Orwell would be shocked
To see these double think words everywhere
Zero tolerance leads to zero common sense
When every infraction of the rules
Becomes a class A felony
Where a ten-year can be charged
With felony drug dealing
For offering a classmate a Tylenol
Under Zero tolerance for drug dealing
