My Right To, My Prerogative




What I would give for common grounds   
Chaos of a debate, lingering on platforms  
A thousand men demand to be heard, boiling kettle


Individual thoughts on compromise, unreachable 
Opposite ends of a spectrum 
Distance of notions expressed, banquet for tea set up


Avoidance of a resemblance, tea party gather
Fear of his intention, alien of his life 
Reeks of toxic propaganda, allergy to his breath   


"Do not come close" Manifesto set
Far is near enough of want 
Buffer zone, requested, demanded   


Strangers intentions, unclear to observers
Worried with paranormal thoughts 
From outcome of encounters, drink up notions  


No progress or developments, buying into the production  
No innovation through links and compliance 
No effect on cause of sharing, knowing, understanding 


Fear mongering on old folk tales, passed on, them against us
"There is something in the woods" it worries 
Factions of individuals, groups, "puppet masters" 


A vote in voices heard , hostage of a party held   
A thousand men demand a stage 
A thousand more queue in line 


No compromise, gathering solid ground 
" someone always looses out on that
and it want be me " 


I demand to be heard 
It is with my self interest that I speak 
I demand to be heard, observers worry


My right to, I vote to, kidnap of an old machinery
My prerogative  
My tea, just went cold, on my crumpets

Words, My point of View

In the beginning, there was the word..
And the word was spoken..

"I have a dream"


So now I speak my word..
I oppose, I object and debate.. 

I make my stand, and I am heard..


Because I speak my word..
I state my point of view   
Firmly expressed, I let it be known 


I speak my word
But I am allowed to change my stand..
Because I am open to a debate..


I sit and carefully listen..
Analyse, waiting to be convinced ..

Of one's point of view, in discussion..


Time changes
;..
And with it an enlightenment..

So now I know, that which ..


I did not know before..
A discussion, a reasoning 

"I am allowed to change my stand"..

But before that; I need to be convinced..

And for that to happen,..

Both sides need to be heard..

My point view, is my point of view..

I am open to a challenge..
A debate , a discussion, reasoning..
 


To change my stand, 

Does not make me indecisive,..
But rather flexible, open minded..
 


Open to a debate, a discussion, analysis 
 I believe in a democracy, freedom of speech

Where everyone, can speeches make..


Has a voice and can be heard..
With reason, analogy 

An opinion on a subject matter 
 
However, that comes with responsibility..
Because I CANNOT be insulted by the fact ..

That, everyone has the right to an opinion..


As even with a democracy..

There are rules to be adhered to..
 

Like instruction manuals, the dos and don'ts 

So sometimes I bite my tongue and turn away..
I do the walk, and walk on by 

And hope you do the same too, in response ..


Because, I cannot be insulted..
Just for the sake of it..
 

For just that sake, insults ..

Everyone has the right to an opinion..
The time, place and what is said ..

Is what makes the difference, on stages drawn..
 


So now I pick my time..
Here and now, this stage befitting 

And speak my word..
I HAVE A DREAM
I HAVE A DREAM
