Analysis of Oh, to disagree.
Wayne Blair 1951 (London)
There is room to disagree
If the tempers stay in check
Fully canvas what we see
Not about one’s own red neck.
But it seems the Town’s gone soft
Wouldn’t dare to make some waves
Placid, milquetoast
Now the norm
Zest-less neutrals show most days.
Take a look, yes
Long and hard.
Some good points
The others state
Thoroughness, not pushed aside.
Disagreement IS NOT HATE.

About this poem
Especially in my Canada we try doubly hard to avoid division, negative response, controversy. It has become a bit of a joke. How moderate and apologetic all the time, those Canadians. Bland. No spice.
