Battles Between the Broken

The phrase "never trust a politician,"
was common knowledge when I was young.
Now the right worships a president,
and the left's gone crazy, since he won.

Words once describing hands to write with,
are now seen as entire identities.
Sexual-preference, race, religion, and politics,
have now replaced personality.

One side is hindered by religion,
the other lusts for Pandora's Box;
praying to propaganda's spirit animals;
a tweeting bird and funny fox.

Regression disguised as progession,
religion considered reality;
inclusion through exclusion,
sexism rebranded as gender identity.

People preaching about color,
while their thoughts are black and white;
rather than tipping scales in one direction,
one should balance left and right.
