Tortoise

No college deans nor reading drag queens are vile.
Scapegoating progressives is corrosive bile.

For, everyone has heard, “You can’t stop progress.”
Not with hate, by laws, church…nor even congress.

People are creative & destructive, both.
Each forward step is taken on as an oath.

A promise to grow & push boundaries back.
A promise to make up for the steps we lack.

Because, we will fail…bet your bottom dollar.
But we, in a hole, stop digging & holler.
