You tagged me in your post
Corralled me into a herd
Said you are with me
Or against me
I can’t be that specific
I value freedom
Equity
Rule of law
Justice for all
The separation of church and state
So when I am stampeded
I jump the fence
And bolt
The American Taliban can’t rule my life
I stand supra religiosity
Freedom to believe is what I crave
Extended to all
Equal rights without caveats
Freedom of choice
Politics shouldn’t be about prayer
The state has no business in
Bedrooms
Churches
Mosques
Temples
Or oak trees in the woods
The state should make sure the infrastructure
Is adequate
The state should make sure the playing field
Is equal
Then back off
As I back off from
You
