Misappropriation

A gay rights group
subverted
to undermining
marriage;
a valid goal,
perhaps,
but why conflate,
obscure
or hide
your goal?
Why not give
an honest choice?

A trans group
diverted to modifying
gender roles
or accepting
fashionable rules
for gender
equality,
the former
most definitely
a valid and noble
goal,
the latter misguided,
flawed,
and based on
erroneous views
of the real world,
but,
again,
why conflate,
obscure
or hide
your goal?
Why not give
an honest choice?

More spectacular,
a rebel alliance,
freeing, perhaps
a nation
from tyranny
is rent asunder
when one rebel group,
so says another,
tries to subvert
change
to change as it defines.

We take what’s opportune
it seems to me,
but not necessarily,
what’s right,
too dedicated to goals
to think
does the end
truly justify
this means,
this misappropriation
of another
noble purpose?
