It clearly seems that in the U.S. the barrel of tolerance
has been scrapped for the dregs
Tolerance in the land of free speech that used to free society hallmark
The beacons of free speech have twinkled and one by one of college campuses
have gone dark
At Harvard where most of us believe that
free speech there has long since ceased to exist
Students are petitioning school former Trump officials speaking or teaching
school must resist
Tolerance which is a soothing trait but its meaning has been distorted
Tolerance is you agree with me and I can agree or can ignore and listening to
have aborted
How can you ever unite a country so bitterly divided if one side bans any
opposing views
Blacklisted, demeaned, assaulted and attack while only the sounds of silence
from leading Blues
A mind that is nourished by only one view that is the one that is always deemed error free and right
Is a mind that will wither and die no matter how in the past its owner was
deemed most bright
Time for some real tolerance and acceptance that your way is not always the
right way or only way
Time to end the ad hominem attacks and bring one’s compromising skills to
display
