Subjective

I know that art’s subjective;
Everyone has different taste,
So one exhibit that I love
Might be, to you, a waste.

The same applies to music – 
Some like opera, jazz or blues,
Country, rock and roll or show tunes – 
What some pick, I’d never choose.

And what about vacations?
Many opt for beach or isle,
While a city with museums
Is a trip to make me smile.

Disagreements are expected
Where the government’s concerned,
But to me, what’s most upsetting
Is the lesson I have learned…

That no longer can we argue
With civility and poise.
Respect has been replaced with
Lowlife nastiness and noise.

This has come to be accepted – 
Points of view can’t be discussed
And the bullies bloviate and leave us
Trampled in the dust.
