My views are my own

Never be afraid to speak your mind freely

And don’t be surprised if other people don’t agree,

That the beautiful thing about living in a democracy

But it’s fast disappearing into a fascistic kakistocrisy,

But that just my opinion and I will share that

But you don’t have to buy into it without researching the facts,

I’d never force my views onto those who don’t want to hear it

But I will voice my dissent at that corrupt and conservative,

Capitalism is failing because it doesn’t offer equality

That the thought that I have but you can disagree with me,

Division, fear, greed and hate have now become our new way

But that is what I am free to posit and they can’t take that away,

Like they’re looking into into stipping immigrants of their rights

Devastating and ripping apart families away from plain sight,

They practiced this with Windrush

But they’ll make sure it won’t fail again,

This is my opinion so I’ll have my fucking say

And you can decide to take or leave it and we can still be ok,

Difference in views stops life from becoming stale

But do me just one favour, live your life the same way.

  1. I will be sure to submit it, thank you for the permission
    It did resonate with me, the reality is that many do agree. I am one.

  2. This is a very powerful poem. I am also not ashamed to say that I had to look up the word “kakistocrisy” and I have to say it is the most perfect word for what I have been witnessing as well. Beautifully done. I would like to submit this to a friend of mine that takes blog entries from all different sites as they are submitted to her so that others can read them. Is that ok with you?
