If you do not agree

completely with me

then you must be extreme

your ideas but a dream

to live in this country

does not offer, you see,

the option of middle ground

or diplomacy

some may say CRAZY

the U.S. is not mean

then I’d say that you’re left-wing

or right-wing

or maybe faking

do you not know, recognize, understand

that voicing an opinion in great land

is no longer permitted or respectfully heard

rather, met with the bone-crushing call of ABSURD

if you do not fall in line and go popular

then you’ll likely end up on the boycott altar

summarizing your choices

are laid out as this:

agree with what they say, or be led away

fall in line little lamb, don’t wander astray

the idea of respecting what others believe

appears to be gone, so don’t be naive.
