For many years gays and lesbians
lived in the closet afraid to admit
Fearful employers would react by
firing or asking them to quit
Or voters would not see them for
public office fit
Fearful that in a foxhole they would
not be allowed to sit
Not right and slowly but surely the
closet doors opened and they came out
And the forces of discrimination
receded though not in a complete rout
New closets unfortunately are
experiencing a building boom
And
diversity of thought is suffering great doom and gloom
In college
classrooms conservatives are fearful to their ideas express
In Hollywood
conservatives are fearful lest their employment chances be suppressed
In
politics poll results are often skewed
As
conservatives fearful expressing what they believe is true
In
Silicon Valley the social media giants lean to the liberal cause
Anyone expressing conservative thoughts is thought to be flawed
Anyone expressing conservative thoughts is thought to be flawed
No wonder
Dorsey of Twitter indicated conservatives are afraid to come out
A different
opinion than the left is quickly put to rout
Somewhat hypocritical and self serving due to Twitter's shadow ban
And algorihyms on conservative speech hard to justify or understand
No one
wants to be attacked for one’s social views
Build and
hide in the closet so no one has a clue
Who loses
when ideas are concealed due to possible ridicule?
Concealed
due to a self imposed gag rule
The answer
is simple each and every one whether left or right or in between
Tolerance
on both sides must be the mantra so the dependence on closets we can wean
