Left
to Perception
Perceptive are those
Not right,
Who see easily
What’s left is fright.
Why else
Their incendiary?
Its diminishing
Wave evidentiary.
They know
Better than others,
Their cause
Now smothers.
Not willing
To be the loyal
Opposition,
As a snake, they coil
And spew
Only venom.
Pressured,
Encased plenum.
Rationality
Lost to antipathy,
All or nothing
Their dissonant symphony.
What’s left
Is free speech
Lost to
Constitutional breach.
No compromise,
We are told.
Now, will
The center hold?
