Opinionated Correctness

The majority see normality in their conformity of reality 
think the minority less ordinary living independently of society 
so the predominantly found commonality to follow the herd unquestionably 
as those unobjectionably herded sheep live undeveloped intellectually 
for the safety to be safely integrated with humanity 
in a delusional state of superiority to protect their sensitivity 
but to truly go where you please is a sign of your integrity 
when you choose to have your own views and be standing for them separately 
risk the social repercussions which return your way indefinitely 
when you learn that they lack concern as they have no way of thinking free 
the cursing gift that you live with that doesn’t need authority 
or popularity through obscurity avoiding any form of scrutiny 
knowing social approval’s only useful if you want anonymity

Premium MemberIt Is What It Is

“It is what it is” works like a charm --
One could say “it’s what it’s,” no harm,
For "it’s" stands for “it is,” in the grammar book
A fact every careful writer should not overlook.
“Its stand is admirable”; never “It’s stand is admirable”
In writing poetry, the correct form is desirable! 
“It’s” doesn’t work when writing “its lack of pizzazz”
It’s is a contraction for “it is,” I repeat, and all that jazz
While “its” denotes “belonging to,” rightfully,
Use them correctly and your poem reads delightfully.

If I am wrong, please let me know right away
“It’s” a pet peeve of mine; “its” incorrect usage drives me insane,
When used incorrectly in a poem, indeed,
It tells me you did not proofread!

Don't be proud of who you are,
Or where your family came from.
Your culture or your bloodlines,
Could perchance offend some.

Don't talk about religion,
And don't in public pray.
I tell you true the new taboos,
Will make your hair turn gray.

Don't say you like a certain sport,
Support a certain team,
You may offend some other fans,
May dash their hopes and dreams;

And don't display your moral code.
You'll hurt somebody's feelings,
Depending on their current stance,
Or their political leanings;

But if you worship idols,
Perchance could be a witch,
Or mayhap worship other gods,
The rules then tend to switch.

We don't want to hurt their feelings,
Or make them to feel odd,
So we encourage heathen ways,
And just ignore our God.

Has the world gone completely mad
All the words we've been using
Are quickly changing, it's so sad
I am a woman 
Feminine as can be
I still call a spade a spade
And a she a she
It does not offend me
Or cause me any strife
I am still a person
I am my Husband's Wife
I am independent and unique as well
Since I was born a female
I'm delighted I am a girl
I do not feel my gender is for others to debate
Have they nothing on their agenda
Of which we people can relate
There must be many others
That think the same as I
It makes no sense of lots of things
And you start thinking why
Are they interfering in this unnecessary direction
I'm quite happy as they were familiar and perfection

ps
A thought has just occurred to me
I wonder how it would be
If you could no longer call an E mu an Emu
But Personmu or She
(TeeHee!!!!!!)

Political Correctness

If you want you and me to connect,
be politically always correct.
If you call a spade "spade",
then you've not made the grade.
So I'm sorry — we must disconnect.

Emotional Correctness

When I want to express anger,
I get madder than hell

When I want to give love,
how deep is my well

On those times that I covet,
how green I become

And when wrestling with hate,
the result zero-sum

When my face blushes red,
I wear it with pride

Excitement and fury,
then never to hide

These things at my core,
at your risk to defame

Like politics censored
—emotional correctness disclaimed

You'Re Pc Perfect

You hide, deny, words left implied_
between the lines where you reside_
avoid, misguide, all justified_
You say for love, say you are kind.

~False smiles, false praise...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

~Fake hugs and invites...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

persuade, convince, keep up pretence
stay on the fence, no preference
pretend we're friends to not offend
don't have the heart to end the trend

~False smiles, false praise...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

~Fake hugs and invites...
Say it's the rules...
When did kindness
 become so cruel~

Political Correctness

Political correct I am not
I say things as they are
If I see a bike on the road 
I don't say there's a car.

You might think this is stupid
Calling something that it's not
Political correctness does the same
And it has a sinister plot.

It wants to remove our God given rights
By taking away free speech
It's already entered the modern church
For a different gospel they preach.

There is a spirit behind this madness
And the truth it wants to steal
This evil will destroy our nation
So we better wake up this is real.

It wants to change the truth for a lie
Taking away the things we believe
Political correctness is not of God
It's here just to deceive.

Political Correctness

As always 
The tyrant 
Wants to silence and oppress
By whatever means, 
Even political correctness.

Political Correctness

Virtue (stood upon its head) decried the lack of dignity
Logic (twisted, tortured, wronged) confessed suspect validity
Honour closed its eyes denial easier than arguing
As antistrophic chorus rang from madding crowds like caroling
Self-inflicted lynched themselves as vigilantes took their prize
And all the while some people wondered if we humans realize
Pendulums are meant to swing, so we should view this with concern
The further we compel the thing … the stronger, harder it returns

We have to be careful to please, not offend
distorting our language, amend or pretend
that words and expressions no longer exist
for sake of politics...you’re getting the gist?
Restraints keep increasing; how far will they reach? 
They offer a hindrance to freedom of speech.
We are sacrificing tradition and song,
beliefs and ideals...that surely is wrong!
They curb celebrations and alter their name
for sake of politics we wallow in shame!
It isn’t a rumour but truly a fact
that mention of Christmas is now incorrect.
I fear that in future, avoiding a crime
will feature much bleeping and talking in mime.

Political Correctness
By Franklin Price
6/16/2016

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
