A Dove Captcha

Dance around the porch
Pass around the torch
What's true?

Hands around its throat
Hands to tight to know
What's true

It was always there
It's always been there
Time seems scarce
But time doesn't care

We clap about the forest?
We clap about the courts?
What's new?

Who decides what voice?
Who decides what choice?
What's new?
