Primed For Intolerance
Lady Liberty’s torch burns
the liberal conscience smiles
darknesss covers for spite
hatred found a way
fires light up big city skies
political pandering
battles with the torch of peace
Uncontrolled chants for justice lead to murder
uncontrollable chance for carnage open
for clamor
for chaos.
Consciences are seered,
primed for base intolerance.
