Civility

Since when did the world mock me?

When was the moment that I walked down the street to a threat of being paved?

A threat on the path I have walked my whole life?

When did these red and blue pill pushers start to prescribe medications never sought?

Why should I be drugged to convict my truth?

I know that my vote counts, 

So why are you concerned with mine when yours does too? 

When did this become a game where my head is the prize?

My body the steak?

My money a liability?

Why should I be forced to bite someone else's food? 

Can't we just eat at the same table?

Why can't we share; and why is it so bad to lose?

I think what I think, so why should I want what you want?

Be clear in this: 

You have not changed me, 

But instead polarized a nation.

You have enraged us, 

And that is what wins in the end.
