CLOSED SHOP

Bar the doors to keep out non-union scabs
They might pollute our pure thought and words
With their egalitarian concepts of freedom
Our sanctuary is for we like-minded alone
Cast out the bearer of the unseemly new
Ideas that might make us reconsider
Our entrenched and preconceived notions
We hold fast to the pseudo-religiosity
We seek the sweet peace of non-thought…

This poem was inspired by “Stand
