The radio announcer goes on and on
voicing his political position.
In an outraged voice he articulates
all that’s wrong with America and
the leaders we put in place.
His counterparts on television
match him punch for punch
with rhetoric designed to inflame
in order to set fire to the citizens
to change their political stance.
The intelligent ones
weigh opinions and find other
points of view, then decide what to think,
and determine what they will do.
The ignorant ones let the fires burn,
mimic what they’ve heard
to merge their thoughts
and become part of the media ignited frenzy,
but the crazy ones,
oh God bless the crazy ones,
no one can predict how they will react
or exactly what they will do.
