<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">Political Correctness</p>
<p align="center">was invented by the Devil</p>
<p align="center">who attends</p>
<p align="center">an anger management group</p>
<p align="center">for the dammned</p>
<p align="center">run by</p>
<p align="center">an angel that used to be a social worker</p>
<p align="center">and no one understands</p>
<p align="center">the strategy he has planned</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">a thousand proclaimers</p>
<p align="center">warn the people of things</p>
<p align="center">to come</p>
<p align="center">but do not look</p>
<p align="center">at the ancient teacher</p>
<p align="center">beneath their feet</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">I was asked once ,</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;what do you believe?&#8217;</p>
<p align="center">My reply was and is</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;I believe in the eternal that dwells in the human state,</p>
<p align="center">the movement of consciousness</p>
<p align="center">of clear light and slowness</p>
<p align="center">of the everchanging</p>
<p align="center">and the unspoken path</p>
<p align="center">that dwells in every being</p>
<p align="center">that lives in the ten worlds</p>
<p align="center">and beyond,</p>
<p align="center">in the simple</p>
<p align="center">and the profound&#8217;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">having found my answers unacceptable</p>
<p align="center">confusion reigned</p>
<p align="center">its natural</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">Political Correctness</p>
<p align="center">is political control</p>
<p align="center">it is surveillance</p>
<p align="center">of the individual</p>
<p align="center">without the cameras</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">The time will come</p>
<p align="center">when even an atheist will be</p>
<p align="center">crucified for such a belief</p>
<p align="center">a hindu and a jain,</p>
<p align="center">a buddhist and a druze</p>
<p align="center">a christian and a communist</p>
<p align="center">will all be held in contempt</p>
<p align="center">of the state</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">it is said the devil is in the details</p>
<p align="center">he once told me that he is just misunderstood</p>
<p align="center">and god feels like that too</p>
<p align="center">well, i said both of you are just</p>
<p align="center">bit players in the drama of time</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">both of you concerned</p>
<p align="center">with political correctness</p>
<p align="center">but then both of you are related</p>
<p align="center">devil and god</p>
<p align="center">but both of you forget</p>
<p align="center">that life is not about the outcome</p>
<p align="center">but the attempt</p>
<p align="center">there is no fall or rise</p>
<p align="center">no sanctuary or prize</p>
<p align="center">the spirit is self realising</p>
<p align="center">and that is the</p>
<p align="center">only truth and deities, leaders</p>
<p align="center">and those who want control are terrified</p>
<p align="center">of that, of</p>
<p align="center">the story tellers and the poets</p>
<p align="center">the magic people and the inbetween walkers</p>
<p align="center">the mountain holders</p>
<p align="center">and stone collectors</p>
<p align="center">they do not conform</p>
<p align="center">to the supermarket stacking</p>
<p align="center">of political correctness</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">I have seen the face of war</p>
<p align="center">and know the haunting</p>
<p align="center">rush of meaning as it trickles with the blood</p>
<p align="center">in dying moments</p>
<p align="center">people see the truth</p>
<p align="center">of their own divine humanity</p>
<p align="center">and reject</p>
<p align="center">all constraints</p>
<p align="center">as they look</p>
<p align="center">into the clear light</p>
<p align="center">and go beyond the whisperings</p>
<p align="center">of gods or politicians</p>
<p align="center">to ride the note of a flute</p>
<p align="center">to their true home</p>
<p align="center">only to stay awhile before returning</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
