Analysis of Political Ring
The political world is
a flat ring that
curves from center
all the way to
the far right or far left.
At the end of the curve
white hooded klans
black masked pinkos
meet and merge in
a fire of mean extreme.
What's in their sight
is all the same, but
one sees through a blurry left eye
the other a blurred right.
Each side is brimming
with hatred and anger
desiring control
longing to rule
subservient others.
The good thing is
that they represent
no one and nothing
between them and
the rest of the curved ring.
