Mind your own

If someone is shitting in your back yard
Then by all means, justly, take offense.
But if that someone shits in their own back yard,
Then stand back, please, behind the fence.
It defies logic and lies beyond sense,
An intangible, but true, saddening fact.
That some among us must rush to defence
Of actions that cause no malicious impact.
It strikes me that those lacking caution, or tact,
Must themselves be fearful of their own wardrobe.
And in their fearfulness, race to attack
Those who embrace their freedom to elope.
  It staggers that unabashed, enlightened hope,
  To some unenlightened remains beyond scope.
