The Road To Silence Poem by John F. McCullagh

The Road To Silence



There's a troubling trend in the land of the "Free".
Many things go unspoken; they're just not "P.C."
Crimes are committed and no one is shocked
when they go unpunished and lips remained locked.
To speak truth to power is to risk mockery.
You'll be labelled a racist; that's just not "P.C."
So much as gone wrong In the land of the "Free"
It would bore you to list the whole sad Litany.
If ever you wondered just what you would do
In a time when great evil was threatening you?
You need no longer wonder. You didn't stand tall.
On the sad road to silence you said nothing at all.
