Mutual Respect versus Intolerance (draft)

I'll start tomorrow, I pretty promise
to be a better person and listen painfully to your speeches
but when I ask a question, you're even more offended
than when I gently fall asleep.
It's like tyranny versus free speech.
If one can not question, one can not think.

Give you a example.
You say common sense comes before books.
I ask what's common sense?
Common sense for you to throw a tantrum?

I say you're fond of quoting from the Bible,
that never refers to common sense,
and which according to the Book,
existed before the term "common sense" was coined.

What makes more sense to me is common courtesy
or avail me of your uncommon golden silence.
