Divided

We’re living in hard times
where lines separate 
and people stop listening—
where people close doors
to listen to the rhetoric of like minded
to listen to their own definitions
Words are spewed into an arena 
and battle lines drawn
Yelling replaces dialogue
The other is penalized,
and demonized, shoved out,
caught up in someone’s fear
We’re living in hard times
where words are misunderstood
and people shelve words
afraid of the rush of red hot fire
We’re living in hard times
where license to hate
has new life
