A New Morality?

by Allan CF Goh

Listen, listen, listen,
Do not rebut at all,
In spite of the foolishness,
Despite lacking truthfulness.

When wrongs are committed,
You shall not see or hear.
Citizens may not report;
Ignore the racist import.

Just obey and follow,
Ask not, and question not.
It is the prerogative,
Care not the pejorative.

Listen everybody,
And hurt not the feeling.
It’s the new morality.
It’s the new mentality.

So loudly they ranted,
Those mad, senseless bigots:
They want the country to burn;
They wish not a better turn.

Citizens must be tamed,
Or sent to foreign land.
Nobody can ask questions.
Everything is sedition.

Only some are allowed
To talk and shout rubbish.
Don’t reply, it’s an insult,
Never mind the vile result!
