Demonize Or Energize

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
  Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise

Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
  Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise

Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
  Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize

Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
  Thought-police priesthoods evangelize and moralize

Why can't they fraternize and socialize?
  Why don't they harmonize and compromise?

And perhaps overdramatize a bit as well! ~ Gershon
