I choose to protest openly.

tetrameter sonnet

I choose to protest openly.

 

I’m cynical, satirical.

Politically incorrect.

Though you agree in principal.

I sometimes think that you suspect.

 

I’m sometimes economical

 With the truths I try to expose.

You think it may be probable.

My acid comments are a pose.

 

You hold your tongue in self defence.

Although you do not disagree.

You hesitate to give offence.

To the prevailing powers that be.

 

By staying silent you assent.
To tyranny by government.

[The Scholar]

This was great, loved the rhyme scheme and the words.
Your work is always amazing--sometimes it confuses me incredibly and makes me pause and take time to think, and other times it cracks me up.

Very interesting . . . nicely done
