When tried to word out truth
Was asked to mute my tongue, as truth was rude,
Tried to vent its anger
No ear to heed; my means were crude?
You truths are poisonous, try being a prude
Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.
.
They boast people as their mentors
Who were taboos of their times
Mocked by men, insulted by society
A rocky road they travelled,
No silk path was ever viewed
Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.
.
Let such bigoted trolls play their ugly flute
Their stories outdated & obsolete
Their whining now can’t delude
Cursing the opposition is their habit
Abusing new ideas, their food
Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.
