In praise of the refusers

Those who'll never bend;

For only in opposition

Will you never find a friend.

 

In praise of the contrary,

Those who'd refuse to bend the knee

To the cultured, rich and ugly,

They'd rather think for themselves, gleefully..

 

In faint praise of sceptical believers

Deceivers who can see both sides

Who'll never want to be open

Yet never want to hide.

 

In praise of those who'd sell their souls

For a promised liberty

Then find out that their whole raison d'etre

Is to learn quickly how not to be.

 

In praise of those who expose, criticise and condemn

Those who claim to believe contrary points of view,

Those who'll gather all their strength and wit

To prove the positive of a negative was true,

While failing to notice that: 

Blue is still the colour of  blue.
