Eternally shifting tides

Each side feels entirely justified
In their hatred
It was planted inSide
Each wide open I
Thinks it sees what Lies
Beneath
The threshold of Belief
….thinks itself revolutionary
A bastion of truth
On this merry-go-round
        ….carnival set loose
Within the fairy ring of Loud
Mouths
    Proclaiming their own Bias
To be so Sweetly Sound

Each Side swears this is the End
   Of Something
But What Thing is It
That is crumbling Now?
      Where is the finger pointed?
Sharpened like pencils
     Scribbling within  stenciled lines
To draw the boundary
      Around their captured minds…:::
Terror and fear, 
     ( oh dear….
              Hear we go again
The pendulum swings and brings
     The opposite demons into the ring)
That which one cannot Own
Within
Becomes the Face of the Beast
That threatens to Swallow the World
       :::l i s t e n. U p. B o y s. N. G i r l s:::
Untangle the threads in
Your own bitter heads
Defragment your own HeartDrive
And own your own sins
             Because what you See
Is What You Look With
     Clear the connection 
And strengthen the bandwidth
            So you don’t fall Prey
               To the illusions that ‘They’
Have woven into your brains.

“When you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost
Consider the burden of fame
And he who is wise will not criticize
When other men fail at the game”

Take A Deep Breath
Reel in your Ache
The frightened Eyelids
Believe they are awake
But the heavy weight
Of the masters of Fate
Are spinning and spinning
As the sleepers debate….

The strangest thing 
about living behind screens
Are the I~s who believe
They can hide their own seams
But the constant toll
Of the endless Scroll
Makes it so easy for their
Souls
To be seen ….

So take a deep breathe
And step into the center
And reel in the hatred
That breeds more terror.
