Political Correctness
There are no more whales in SeaWorld
And women do not have to shave
Marijuana is legal, the borders are open
And all income is divided equally
Pronouns have been banned
For fear of offense
And sports are illegal, so no children
Will ever feel inadequate
We no longer have a national anthem
(all the entries had a too “political” slant)
And the flag was outlawed,
(the red suggested a pro war mentality)
Vegetarianism was mandated
And colors removed to prevent gender profiling
At noon every day, we had a mandated hug
(this was later removed for fear of public safety)
And as the protesters packed up their signs
In front of the newly condemned Chucky Cheese
(it’s just not fair to exclude anyone
in this case-- grown ups).
One of them noticed a billboard
Raising awareness for orphans
But a child from every gender, ethnicity,
and demographic was not depicted.
Orphans or not this was not acceptable,
And the protesters prepared once again
To fight for the injustice of the world
As we are nothing, if not politically correct.
