Analysis of To the Thought Police



Telling me what to do,
Is like asking politicans to be true,
Its a stupid thing to do.

Telling me what to say,
Is like asking an atheist to pray,
Of course I wont obey.

Telling me what to think,
Is like making a vegan wear mink,
Those chains wont link.

So before you begin
Or continue with this sin
You should know you cannot win.

About this poem

This insanity from these boys playing dress up needs to end. The sooner men take over and everyone stops allowing these whingebags to throw tantrums and create tyranny because they are so easily offended by every bit of truth, the better.
