My Way Or The Highway

 

Intolerance, the seed

of twisted truths and trolls,

so which doyen decides?

Design of deity or demon,

society’s script or social shackles,

mantras, morals, manacles to

fetter freedom and feed indignation.

Charity crushed, a shattered crystal.

Interesting. Lots of good alliteration to drive the message. The title adds a lot to this poem. Freedom of speech vs intolerance. A very topical debate

Thanks Martin. What irony, I find intolerance intolerable! Polarised opinion seems to be the normal default position now- maybe it was always thus but social media has given it a stage .
