Don’t Feed the Trolls
 A troll appears at your dining room table Don't feed the trolls And so you ignore it's whimpering and whining As more and more gather, hearing its cries They overrun you And eat you out of house and home - Don't feed the trolls And so you remove it from your dining room Dropping it outside the doorway And it comes back And you remove it And it comes back And you remove it And it comes back And you are tired, so tired You give up, and it whimpers and whines at your table-side More and more answer its cries Until they overrun you And eat you out of house and home - Don't feed the trolls And so you kick it out of you house and lock the door And ignore it's whimpering and whining As you eat your dinner in peace But your neighbors don't - Don't feed the trolls And so you beat it within an inch of it's life And inform it that you'll do it again Because there is no difference between racism for a straw man and racism for being edgy and being racist And you will not tolerate it at your dinner table And you will not tolerate it in you home And you will not tolerate it in your community In your country In your world - Don't feed the trolls They don't come to your table But they visit your neighbors So you knock on their door And ask how they're doing And ask if they need help Not feeding trolls
