Tolerance
By BugTheRoot © 2009

Tolerance let the Intolerant
enter through the back door
T’was too late, too late,
to reverse her mistake
And they raped her there on the floor
And Death was slow when it came
But worse was the sting of the Shame

For she had been good, and she had been kind
But foolishly she’d been willfully blind
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she must have been out of her mind

Virtue stood there paralyzed
focused on her own Being
Since haste doth make waste, she chose just to wait
And marveled to see her Chance fleeing
And her Death was slow when it came
But worse was the sting of the Shame

For she had been good, and she had been kind
But foolishly she’d been willfully blind
For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she was too slow to make up her mind

When Resolve arrived on the scene
She knew what had to be done
T’was too late for debate
The need then was great
She fought tooth and nail till she’d won
And Death was Just when it came
Her Glory burned like a flame

For she had been good, and she had been kind
But she was decisive when it came time
For she had been good, and she had been kind
And she had no Fear to punish the Crime
