Fashion Police
Who invented dreadlocks ?
I honestly don’t care,
Anymore than who should get to sport blond hair.
No one-individual
Gets to tell us how to dress,
Though there’s plenty self-appointees who will do so, nonetheless.
They want to segregate our tastes
By banning admiration,
And assigning each of us a race with no miscegenation.
Appropriating history
And guilt about the past
Into a streak of pompous and self-righteous counterblast.
This is the Left at its ugliest,
So puritan, so sure –
When our romanticism turns to petty civil war.
Equality, fraternity,
They both must come to grief,
As liberty herself makes way for the canceller-in-chief.
But culture is an interchange,
Not a way of scoring points –
And no rule can be airtight when there’s far too many joints.
So the mixing carries-on regardless,
Like it’s always done –
Cos culture’s not a lecture, it’s in way of having fun !
