Politically incorrect,so what

narrative humourous verse

 

Politically incorrect so what

 

When interviewing candidates

Because you’re trying to be fair.

You sometimes over compensate.

Although completely unaware.

 

You are discriminating for.

What you’re against instinctively.

Your methods have proved right before

You aren’t obliged to be P.C.

 

That you should feel you ought to be

 completely free of all bias

To me is sheer stupidity.

Just pause a while and it will pass.

 

The candidates well qualified

So let your prejudice decide

Do as you’ve always done before

and choose the furthest from the door.

 

What does it matter how you choose.

It is entirely up to you

 how you conduct your interviews.

You can do what you want to do.

 

Your methods may not be PC.

But they have stood the test of time.

By choosing almost randomly

You are not guilty of a crime.

 

That you are prejudiced is true

 A simple fact you can’t deny.

But by selecting as you do

You’ll get it right quite possibly.

I like the messages here. You articulate the nonsense we perpetrate of our own free will all too clearly.

You never fail to please with your work. I have nothing but admiration. Good Job.

I like this, it's like stream-of-consciousness that turns into an existential daydream of sorts. I've considered it a few times... the politically correct institution really dictates so much of our thinking. And it's been useful, but also destructive. Kind of like guns, I guess! Two thumbs up :)
