Civil Liberty

It isn’t out of character, not when we

consider the throat clearing deemed 

necessary before a special dispatch 

or’m I making hash out of a nil moot 

that’s a defunct rally slogan; maybe 

it’s a libertarian’s political burlesque 

that y’all need t’ grow up before you 

can choose what y’all want to be as 

we approach that hallowed age; but 

older is not enough when wiser says 

don’t count on a choice being yours - 

you’ll still be unessential; so I’m pre-

pronouncement throat clearing, and 

in-character with my way of thinking - 

but quite dreading the script - which 

according to the ‘scriptures’ must be 

recited verbatim, at least what we’re 

told’s the protocol it really is, and by 

them all who’ve been thru it before; 

what I’m thinkings just stick t’ throat 

clearing without th’ ‘mandatory’ spit
