manumit

turn back the clock 
they say as if that's a good thing 
deriding progress as deviant 
disregarding evolution 
in the foment of revolution 
as if we all could be put back 
in the boxes they have made
they do not recognize 
that they make the world a cage
and by their small minds
both enslaving and enslaved
they denigrate those of us
who do not fit
and silence those who would 
the rest of us manumit
