Remember when sense to be made, <br />Was accepted as being common... <br />For those living to experience, <br />A time when doing this was not offensive. <br />And today? <br />Everyone pays for crimes others commit. <br />Thoughtless acts are excused away to permit. <br />Censored are words although folks butt naked, <br />Or nearly undressed. <br />And those seeking to understand all the mess, <br />To declare none of it makes any sense... <br />Are protested against, <br />By the ones who are offended 'and' senseless... <br />In fear their entitlements to degrade standards, <br />Once protected to value... <br />Now want them represented to display more decadence.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
