McCarthyism
It's absurd, it's treasonous,
Lines are blurred where reason is.
It's now where rationality has left;
Unfounded accusations carry heft.
What shall we do? What can we do? What of that good reputation You've worked so hard to accrue? You can't surrender in abdication.
But how can you fight? How can you resist when speaking in defense Is not seen as right? It goes against good sense.

I'm a very busy physics major who writes "poetry" sometimes. I'm really into dadaism and the artistic revolution of the 1960s, and, cringey though it may sound, I think there should be a revival of that movement, which may be why I stick around here sometimes. It may be worth mentioning that I'm an atheist; I appreciate your religious sentiment, but all you'll get back from me is humanly good will.
