When
a word that used to shock is overused
Its
impact on the listener is defused
Case
in point is the F-bomb that was shocked and banned
From
shows, radio and TV across this land
Now
candidates like Harris drop it almost in a reflex action
Against
any disagreeing political faction
It
has lost its meaning, lost its sense of decorum loss alarm
No
longer has the ability to fire passions or even warm
The
new F-bomb is “racist” which so readily appears
When
to the left arguments or positions are voiced they fear
Criticize
the Squad whose ideas are completely flawed
You
are a racist and you are breaking society’s last decency straw
Push
for a secure border and you merit the racist curse
You
are also a racist if for illegals you won’t open our purse
Trump
gets called a racist almost every minute of every day
How
soon do we have to endure before the effects of the shepherd and the wolf come
into play?
The
shepherd boy wanted attention so he called out a wolf that did not exist
Villagers
came running to the eating of their sheep try to resist
Again
and again the shepherd’s false cry
Panting
and tired the villagers ran not wanting their sheep to die
After
too many times up the hill they had had enough
No
wolf to be seen no need to run up the hill then pant with breathing labored and
rough
Then
on one day a wolf came prowling by
Frantic
the shepherd “Wolf, Wolf’ did cry
This
time the cries to no avail
The
wolf in quest for a sheep dinner did not fail
Racist
is the new F-bomb defused
Used
too soon too often and too abused
To
the extent real racism like lynching, segregation, in jobs and Jim Crow exists
Numbed
by overused and false claim those who despise racism rise not to resist
When
the left reflexively the charge racist will always choose
The
victims and all of us will sadly lose
Sadly
from the radical left, the racist charge is not alone
Islamaphobia, xenophobia, homophobia, misogynie flood the
PC zone
Closing
and shutting down what could be open minds
Leaving
any chance of discussion receding behind
