TONIGHT AND FOR DECADES TO COME!!
Cross
versus
Crescent

THE BATTLE OF BATTLES!!
Moral Right
versus
Relative Justice

Oh, to be breathless past the
point of breathing any air
hyperventilating on all the hyperbole

battered from all sides with diatribes,
demands,
agendas,
lists,
programs,
SPIN (spin is good) (spin is bad) (bad spun good) (good spun bad) (bad-good spun good-bad)

editorials continually: you're wrong! he’s wrong! she’s wrong! they’re wrong!
editorials never: I’m wrong. I’m sorry.

divide and CONQUER. never hope, unify

spinning now
spinning into dark
into pain
spinning from demands for decisions
spinning around imperatives

just spinning
