Politically Correct

Why would you do that to a language? Strip it
Of history, past and meaning, in short, bury it?
Why would you make freedom of speech a restriction,
Take tradition and make it derelict,
Turn conversation into a gender-defending epic,
An antic?
Political correctness as a substitute for genuine article,
It's a farce, the way we get pensive and impractical
Murder the smallest of scalding problems and pick over the detail
All we meant to say is – we meant to be equal.
But somewhere, got deceived into believing it's critical
Is it just evil?
