RE: Ideologues, Activists and the Theater of the Absurd + "The" ... a poem

in #poetry6 years ago

@carolkean,

Poor old Mark Twain ... he's being censored in numerous schools. His characters apparently don't speak sufficiently politically-correct language. What we need is social commentary ... that doesn't comment on society. Shakespeare's in the spotlight too ... his stuff is just filled with microaggressions.

Must I flagellate you with a hyphen to get you to stop hyphenating after -ly words?
The day they go after Bill the old Bard, we know it's time for a correction. The sands have shifted waaaaay too far...

@carolkean,

The hyphen I put in "politically-correct" is ... "politically incorrect." I'm a poet. Poets are rebels. I'm rebelling. :-)

Seriously, though ... doesn't it feel like there ought to be a hyphen in there? It feels like ... "my Truth."

The sands have shifted waaaaay too far...
