More from Wotan
This is another simple and fairly straightforward piece, at least from the standpoint that its explanation is almost completely self-contained.
Art is in the eye of the beholder,
because it is created by the eye of the beholder.

I like this poem a great deal. Right now the internet can be a bit crushing, especially since everyone is posting their best works. There's this ocean of well-polished work and it can make you feel like you'll never be good enough. Post WIPs. Post things you aren't completely happy with. Those can be more inspiring than someone's magnum opus.
I had to share this, its about WW2.
I propose a new curriculum for history more suitable for the modern child's temperament. Here's a sample lesson plan:
In 1939, Poland was like, you know, like going through a lot of personal stuff right now, so Germany and Russia, in the spirit of community and togetherness, signed an agreement known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact where each would take over half of Poland's facebook group moderation duties to give Poland a bit of time to like, you know, find itself or whatevs.
Germany did such a good job of moderating Poland that Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands all asked if they would help them as well and Germany agreed. They again proved how great they were at keeping out all the cishet, white males and so Russia promoted them to moderator of their Discord server. Shortly afterwards, Japan launched a surprise, preemptive party for America at Pearl Harbor and then proceeded to send loads of party goers to the Western Pacific.
However, Germany and Japan found that they couldn't quite keep up with all the new duties assigned to them and cishet, white males were found tweeting things other than "TRANS RIGHTS!". So Russia, England and the US (now known as the allies, to show their support for true feminists) organized an intervention and sat Germany down for a good talk about privilege and oppression. Germany agreed that it should give some of it's moderation duties in Poland and France over to Russia and England respectively.
Sadly, this took quite the toll on Germany's mental health and it had trouble moderating it's own facebook group, so the allies rushed in to help them pick up the slack. In 1944 Germany's leader, an FtM transgender man named Adolf Hitler, found the whole thing too much and shot himself. This, like all trans suicides, was rightly blamed upon the cishet, white male patriarchy.
Japan, however, was insistent that it could handle its new duties. The US saw through this and knew that it was just trying to protect its friends in the global community and so sent two atomic presents to Japan causing Japan to break down and have a much needed cry before accepting that the allies were right.
And so, once again all that is good and right triumphed over the patriarchy and the peace of the world was ensured in the face of the evil cishet white males who eternally threaten it.
Also Italy did some shit apparently. Not really sure. Who cares? Fuck Italy.

The truly scary part is that there are a certain percentage of people, who would be incapable of seeing that as satire, and would instead, take it as seriously as a heart-attack.
As for a metaphor that comes to mind:
The segment of society that produces lunacy that was once small and fringe enough that being forced to deal with them usually wasn't all that challenging... Basically a minor and easily-dismissed annoyance, somewhat akin to gum on the sole of your shoe on a hot summer day. Big deal, happens to everyone. Just grab a stick and scrape the worst of it off, and go on with your day.
Now, however, because we've spent so long bending over backwards to try and accommodate or even shamelessly pander to every sort of illogic and temper tantrum that is thrown at us, the situation is now more akin to having that gum covering the entire soles of both shoes, and suddenly you realise that, at best, you're now going to be late and miss your train, whilst being forced to deal with the (much larger) annoyance, but at worst, your entire day has just been ruined.
Thanks for the comments, and also for supporting my work. Poetry gets almost zero attention in the fandom as it is. :P
