Bred for competition and consumption
The angry mob levels their eyes –
A study in self-righteous indignation
and the celebration of judgment and ridicule.
Whether through team spirit or mob mentality,
this ideology is pedestalled and revered.
The littered ground of discarded logic,
open dialogue, and rational civility.
becomes a mountain - Stung Meanchey.
The enemy stands before them
Multifaceted and kaleidoscoped
A harmony of differences and individuals
The Pollock/Krasner floor
A suppliant hat in closed fist
The ship in the harbor – waiting
Just waiting a turn
Empyrean shadowed but overheard
A vertical progression - Socrates and Glaucon
The melting pot so long ignored
Simmers
All possible permutations expired.
It’s coming – pitchforks and windblown.
