suffer the illusion
project the belief
opposition is evil
disagreement
derived from some
foul-of-breath ism
embodied by he
who would dare
to stand into an
alternate view of
an ethical world
so much easier
albeit travesty
is the discredit
of thoughts
when at first
one discredits
the thinker
To dis the messenger not the message, a tabloid curse if there was one. Stupendous stuff!
