You can leave

Come into my home
Express yourself
I embrace creativity
As long as
You don’t say something
I don’t like
Or discuss something
I don’t want
You to discuss
It is my home after all
If you don’t like it,

You can leave.

Come visit my community
Express yourself
I embrace creativity
As long as
You don’t say something
I don’t like
Or discuss something
I don’t want
You to discuss
It is my community after all
If you don’t like it,

You can leave.

Come live in my country
Express yourself
We embrace creativity
As long as
You don’t say something
We don’t like
Or discuss something
We don’t want
You to discuss
It is our country after all
If you don’t like it,

You can leave.

Welcome to our world.
You have been conditioned
To accept the domination
Of others
Your entire life
In fact
You want it
need it
crave it

We do not care
about your
creativity
You say only
What we tell you
You don’t discuss
You simply do
As you are told

This is our world after all
If you don’t like it…
