I see a double standard
In life
Surrounding me everyday
People say I make it up
As if I have
A persecution complex
Or do they think
That I'm delusional?
A pathological liar?
The world says that you
Need to be open-minded
Accept everything, EVERYTHING
Even when what others believe
Contridicts everything I believe in, Everything I stand for
They say I MUST accept it
If I don't they say that I am
Narrow-minded and Prejudiced and
Intolerant and Bigoted and Insular
But, isn't that the
Double standard?
Why can't they see that?
If I say someone won't try to understand
They call me Intolerant
Aren't they the ones being Intolerant?
They can't accept (Or won't accept?)
That if I think something is wrong,
Something someone else believes in
That this disagreement
Doesn't make me
A bigot
Hate is what
Makes a person
A bigot
Just because I disagree
Does NOT mean I
Hate
The world says that you
Need to be open-minded
Accept EVERYTHING
Or else this
Double standard
Is imposed on you!

I share the same thoughts. Actually, recently, I was accused of persecution complex myself, but don't we have the right to call out a spark of hate before it turns into flames of globally acknowledged persecution?
