(Part of the series "On the Establishment, Care, and Maintenance of Personal Social Parameters")
Don’t squeeze me into templates,
or assume that I’m like you:
you’d actually have to be me
to know what I call “true”.
Don’t quote me words
from your myriad gods,
sold wholesale with ten percent markup
by televangelist frauds.
Don’t tell me your country is the best
while flapping your flag at me,
and kindly cease this meme about
land of the brave and home of the free.
Stop for a while your vapid speech
about conditioned point of view,
and seek out wisdom in others:
learn truth you never knew!
Don’t cram me in your little box,
full of dogma too demanding;
come join the march for global peace,
inclusion, and understanding.
