Controversy

Black, white and grey
Upon the screen
I worked like any other day

Minding my own business

Yet you decided
About time to start
Upon this odd crusade

And thus a headcount was made

Not knowing at all
What was happening
I went my merry way

Then he asked if I was ok

Thus I learned
Off this strange plot
That was thrown upon my way

Oh, what despair, oh what dismay

But there was nothing definite
Your plans had failed, I’m told
An idea in disarray

And I’m saved for yet another day.

I’ve forgiven, not forgotten
Moved on, held my head up high
Inspite of all the talk

And that sign-up petition ended on a sour note.
