Don't Say Anything Poem by Susan Williams

The Hollywood crowd tell tales of the dark days of the cold war witch hunts yet do not hesitate to blacklist or spread their venom toward modern day dissenters of their views. Apparently two wrongs do make a right in the through the looking glass mentality of today. Beware those that censure different opinions by labeling contrary thinkers as phobia this and that. Islamophobe, Homophobe, xenophobe. All words to discredit and marginalize. Any questioning of the almighty tolerant crowd will be subject to the giant stamp of RACIST and no debate or even the alluding to an opinion outside of the carefully crafted limits of the acceptable will be tolerated. Reason, logic and common sense are crushed beneath the hammer that cleverly disguises itself as diversity and tolerance. Such a perversion and distrust of opposing viewpoints is found today in Soviet style re-engineering of the face of reality. I hear much talk of the same old villains from pens dipped in the common ink of indoctrination. Written upon that ever expanding page of ignorance. Today the victim is king and the inquiring mind is relegated to the dark corners of society. I love your writing because quite honestly the vast majority of the writers on this site hold the same old views. Propped up to look original but still the same twice-told tales. Those inside and outside of the herd appear to me to be still one and the same. Unable to see the forest for the trees........................keep doing what you do Susan. Brilliant and insightful and a poem that needs to be taken to heart.

Poets try to tell the Truth, But for that they are either Disregarded, Or considered sillier, Than a frightened, Mother Goose. Regardless, Susan, keep shining the truth.
