Do you have to agree with everything

That ‘everyone else’ calls progress?

Are questions asked, the same as

Fists raised?

Is there room for doubt?

Are the only options available the ‘true believers’

And ‘the enemy’?

Do differences of opinion

Translate to utter incompatibility?

Do we want to live in a world of toxic peace

Where we have more egg shells

Than honest conversations?

Have we allowed the collective and individual

Traumas of our past

To make us infallible victims of today

With ideas that cannot be pushed back upon?

Is it impossible that outside our ivory tower

Something better exists?

Is there any place left place for rebuttal?
