I really am very offended
that you will not think as I do
My opinion’s the one that should matter
why should anyone listen to you
All that you say is just rubbish
it’s plain you are just a buffoon
If the men in white coats do not know yet
be assured that they will very soon
I’m reporting you now to the agents
who police all these matters of state
I’m sure they’ll agree with the things that I say
that your mind is just twisted with hate
And if I can’t prove that you’re evil
I’ll just make up stories that tell
you are obviously wrong in all that you think
and you’ll surely be going to hell
I’ll laugh as they take you to prison
and make sure your family go too
You will ne’er again make that silly mistake
of not thinking the way that I do!
Peter Matthews, a country boy at heart, lives with his wife and British Shorthair cat in the suburbs of Nottingham, England. His greatest achievement is that he has aged fairly gracefully but has avoided growing up. Peter has written poetry from the age of sixteen and blogs regularly at www.pollymermaid.wordpress.com.
Everybody is allowed her or his opinion on things, and we should, respect that, but, unfortunately, we don’t live in utopia…

The poem is meant as a commentary on social media and the very fact that many people now simply cannot envisage that anyone has a right to an alternative view!
