1221

Tolerant? Of course we want to be

Open to all views, diverse opinions,

Even at the times we disagree.

But should we tolerate the racist faction,

The rabble-rousing, hate-mongers set free

To vilify and fulminate reaction

Against our own hard-won society?

Better to be true in word and action

Yet whip the vice which hates to see us free.
