Labels
By Shelley Bruce
Labels are good
Labels are bad
They help us reform
They help us conform
Labels are good
Labels are bad
Labels are taught
Slow walking our thought
Hobbling minds like tin-man's rust
Labels make fools of us
Labels are good
Labels are bad
Labels stain our minds
Feelings lock us into binds
Catacombs with high ceilings
Echo words with strong meanings
Labels are good
Labels are bad
Labels litter like minefields
Danger lurks beyond our shields
Collateral damage is common
Blood flows till all is sodden
Labels are good
Labels are bad
