It breaks my heart
Witnessing the narrow-minded
Arrogance
Displayed at every turn ...
Every action and reaction
Shoved in our faces daily by
Every information source as
Though any point of view was
An absolute ...
As though there was a
Modicum of wisdom revealed
In all the verbosity espoused
Combined!
Is this embarrassment to
Intelligence everywhere,
Throughout the universe,
The best our species can do,
Can achieve?
The obvious answer
Breaks my heart.
