I Choose To Protest Openly. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I choose to protest openly.

I’m cynical, satirical.
Politically incorrect.
Though you agree in principal.
I sometimes think that you suspect.

I’m sometimes economical
With the truths I try to expose.
You think it may be probable.
My acid comments are a pose.

You hold your tongue in self defence.
Although you do not disagree.
You hesitate to give offence.
To the prevailing powers that be.

By staying silent you assent.
To tyranny by government.
