Villainized

PP in Makata

Villainized
Watching the television, I can see
long haired people as villainized
for ratings and conformists free

to oppress those that look, like me,
so much like a Jesus reprised,
yet why this is I just can't see

Why must the longest of strands be
mongrelized or uncivilized
when in fact we are seeking free

exchange of ideas, harmony
and all the devices devised
in assisting the world to see

Is it a crime to have such glee
in the life led, uncompromised
in ideas intent to be free

Lennon used to sing McCartney
"Let It Be" for those to realize
the vibe flow in a life to see
we all really want to be free

Richard steered me your way. I really need to do more reading in here!


I like this. Well written.


But, I think the idea of long hair on
men as a protest has been played out
way past the point of irrelevance.


I think both sides (left and right) do their fair share of villianization of each other.


Polarization.


I think it's to keep us from the real answers, which I suspect lie somewhere in the middle.

Tyler:

People are judgmental. We are labelled as one kind or another. Best is to ignore their judgments and use your own. You know yourself the best.
