Commandment Roulette

“Thou shalt not sacrifice thy liberty at the altar of safety,”
Becomes “thou shalt exit through the gift shop,”
Not in one vicious, alarming attack,
But in free speech zones and obscenity acts.
Overreaction's hot air, called “the winds of change,”
Leaves our culture and deck chairs quite poorly arranged.
As a frog at a slow boil–oblivious–
This is how liberty dies.
