"Get In Line" by Scott M. Roberts

Get in line; don't get out,
Or we'll punch you in the snout.
Don't make waves, don't think to change
We'll steal your home out on the range.


Don't speak ill, don't talk hard
We'll boil you in a vat of lard!
We're okay, you're a creep,
Make your babies meek as sheep.


It's all good, agree with us,
Eat this yummy bowl of pus.
It's all fine if you smile and kiss
It won't remind you of what you miss.


--Scott M. Roberts


Another great poem from my favorite living poet. This poem has been in there for years. Roberts posted it on a discussion forum I belonged to way back when, and I think of it every time someone tries to command silence when they encounter disagreement.
