Why in these days of mass discontent
I find myself constantly invoking
the "Two wrongs don't make a right" argument?
One would think by now this would be obvious
but uncivil discourse has become so childish
with all this tit for tat bullshit
Frustrated zealots now two sides
of the same tarnished coin
Instead of engaging contrarian views
in spirited, constructive debate
partisans instead hurl fire bomb invectives
which only serve to create
a culture of "us versus them" politics
This lack of civility is very depressing
For we as a society truly are regressing
when we should be stepping up
to collectively meet the challenges
of these trying times
