Shouting Down
Clamorous
cacophony of discontent:
Public
outrage finds some collective voice,
Finds its
feet, finds its demagogic choice
Of blame
bearer, but then does not relent
To draw
breath, reflect, perhaps consider
How another
view might well be taken,
One more
profound, one that might awaken
Perception,
challenge the highest bidder
For visceral
thought to think again
About those
parties who’re in contention,
Laying claim
to popular dissention,
Offering
their quack final solution.
While anger
and shouting are in season,
They’re
muting the measured voice of reason.
D. A.
