Pending Mayhem

P eace denied for profit and idealism
A dmiration for false leaders 
N eighbourhoods run by gangs
D evotion manipulated to be misunderstood  
E nlightenment set on fire 
M ovements become violent  
O pportunity means take 
N ormal is never enough
I nsight means you started it
U nite is a riot
M ajority fifty plus one could be expensive
