Green Banana
Remarks hang
Low in the gut
So dense they have there own gravity...
Freedom of opinions
Ignorance is bliss
Free speech becomes a travisty
Out of taste
And fashion
Like a garish 80s bandana
An appendix burst
Or rupture to the spleen
A spanner in the works
Of a fine tuned machine
Hard to digest
Pain bursts through my chest
Like a xenomorph in nirvana
Indigestible & foul
Dry cat shit on a trowel
You are my green banana
(I coined the phrase "A green banana" to describe a friend who you cherish dearly but has an opinion about something that you can't agree with eg. Disagreeing with the Black Lives Matter movement. You can't cut this person out of your life because of this as you've been lifelong friends. That person is your green banana)

You have used this green banana very well. It is certainly the right phrase to use when something sits so uncomfortably with you. That's a great phrase! In life we have friends who can surprise us with their views or actions. It's always a difficult thing to handle. At least with food that don't sit right, you can just chuck it all up to feel better. A fine write about something difficult to stomach x
Thank you so much for reading and leaving feedback. Yes, indeed...in life you can always chuck that food back up. I wish you could do the same with other people's opinions that you don't agree with...just chuck them back out of your brain.
Great comment - Syd
