The Way I See It

The Way I See It

Everywhere, unthinking mobs of
“independent thinkers” wield
tired clichés like cudgels,
pummeling those who dare
question “enlightened” dogma.
If “violence never solved anything,”
Cops wouldn’t have guns and
Slaves may never have been freed.
If it’s better that 10 guilty men
Go free to spare one innocent,
Why not free 100 or 1,000,000?
Clichès begin arguments,
They don’t settle them.
