You can say what you like
And we don’t have to like you
And somehow the world
Goes on turning despite you.
But whatever you think
And whatever you preach
This is not about you
Or your freedom of speech.
It’s not about you
And you didn’t get shot
And it “could just as easily be”
But it’s not.
And they weren’t “only people
Who wanted to dance”
And it wasn’t a club
That was chosen by chance.
It was not an attack
Upon you or your culture
You tone-deaf, insensitive
Cold hearted vulture.
