Us Versus Them



The saga continues
into the night, 
argue the fools
"I'm right! I'M RIGHT!!"
shouting so loud,
with cracked shards
of jagged vinyl
littering the floor.

Who can yell louder?
Who can type faster?
Who can be wittier?
Who can care more?

It all repeats 
into the next day
when light breaks
and darkness fades away
while the fat cats
of Wall Street
recline once again
to play the game 
of social division and decline,
just to get richer and richer...

And all the while,
unbeknownst to the masses,
as much as we try,
nothing advances,
the left and the right, 
the black and the white,
will scream at each other
until our ears and fingers bleed, but
nothing will change, friends,
nothing will change.

So quit *****ing.
