Plebian Bedrock

Plebian Bedrock

Honorably mentioned, a talent search.
Perception stifled, from a righteous church.

Disregarded tidings from the far right.
Reckoning the left in the cloaked night.

Will ideology get its respect?
How can middle ground be beyond suspect?

Legitimately justified they point.
Can odd or even simply hide the joint?

Atonement will merge the enlisted group.
Plebian bedrock, right here on the soup.

Hmmmm I think I understand what you are talking about here. It's hard to feel judged every time you turn around and see someone looking over your shoulder and judging you because they think what you are doing is so wrong. They are so busy judging you they don't have time to look at themselves. Good write. God Bless, JB

I'm not sure I get it, Mark, but I do think it was well-written, and the rhymes were right on target. What did you mean by "Plebian bedrock?" I'm not sure.
