Time Was
Once I was an objector, I was a pacifist.
Once I was a protestor, I was an abolitionist.
Once I was a demonstrator, I was a militant.
Once I was an opposer, I was a dissident.
Once I was an activist, I was a picketer.
Once I was a nonconformist, I was a dissenter.
Now I’m a snowflake-worrier, an enemy-within extremist.
A social-justice warrior, must I be made a conformist.

It happens to the best of us, John. Let's hope there are enough of us around to having something to conform with. A profound and amusing piece of verse.
