Offended

Looking for something in common

Scrambling for good conversation 

Trying to build a sense of community 

Wish to contribute something

Foster a feeling of solidarity perhaps

I would have thought that was reasonable

But I certainly can't comment on your figure or hair

Or ask where you're from or what tongues you might speak 

I can't ask about your faith 

Or what foods you like to eat 

These days even sport's off the menu, forget about political lean

There's nothing to smooth over introductions, except for things unclean

We've lost the art of chit chat, all we know is this disease called distancing 

It's ok if I ask you for a "dick-pic" 

but God forbid I actually want to know your history

Can't you tell me about a hobby or an aspiration or 'something'(?)

Instead you and I remain clouded in mystery

As we tow the party line and feed the national GDP
