Off the Edge

When the extreme left gets angry,
     they protest.
When the far right gets angry,
     they run over protesters with a car.
When we lean too far to one side,
     we fall off the edge.

Amazing! Amazing! So amazing. So deep, my senses are pulled out to tick a yes in every line. Short but complete in message. Great work friend.

I believe it's what they want... to drum up the hate for voter security. We people are just pawns. Powerful!
