Brother against brother,
Sister against sister,
Words that divide.
Idealogues and pundits
Preaching their truths;
Do they profit from their lies
Or are they blinded by delusion,
We will never know which.
This does not excuse us.
Aren’t we obligated to discern,
Isn’t this what it means to be informed?
It appears we’ve forgotten,
Submitting to partisan experts,
Who feed what we want to hear
To our otherwise deaf ears.
