Opinion

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 25, 2023

Opinion.
There was
a time.
A time
of give
and take.
A time of
discourse.
Ideas,
thoughts
bandied
about.
Consensus
formed.
Agree to
disagree.
Free speech
allowed.
Win some
lose some.
A world
now gone.
Minds
hardened.
Calcified.
One way
to think.
Disagree
no more,
they’ll
be hell
to pay.
Friends
and family
cleaved,
severed.
Cancelled,
doxed.
Middle
ground,
an island
too far!
Sad.
