"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." Thomas Mann
TOO TOLERANT
We will tolerate tardiness
Or a slightly tasteless entree
But would it not seem heartless
To tolerate your loss of liberty?
In a sad transition of power
When tyrants strive for control
How many hours
Will we tolerate their role?
When we tolerate each little mandate
And accept each demeaning law
How soon will it all translate
Into our final straw?
Time will work against us
As we turn our spineless backs
How long can we linger with disgust
In the freedom we now lack?
