Why do you complain about new warnings
on old TV shows that might cause offence?
Your rants betray your privileged mornings
your cisgendered, white, middle class intents.
Of course you think that no-one should erase
the making fun of Gays as lesser men,
or treating girls as objects of your gaze
or immigrants as subjects of disdain.
You made your fortunes on the backs of these
and claim that your opinions are Just
but still you are upset and weak at knees
when shown outdated values are as dust.
But when nationalist xenophobia rears
You deem it good to execute the queers.
