The human collective
is not defective
if we use our collective
abilities to be reflective
about those we’ve elected
and what we’ve erected
to be mindlessly deflected.
We try to be connected
and show we’ve respected
different perspectives
and not be rejected
or rejecting of others’
own points of view
so that you and I too
can broaden our view
and when we do
it’s just like on cue
that we knew what we knew
about him, me, and you.
But sometimes it’s true
we don’t have a clue
or we follow our crew
into the deep blue
abyss of our sheltered beliefs
where we expect relief
or to be ensheathed
in our own protective shield.
We must work to yield
to experts in their field
so that we can all yield
to actual true facts
and not scornful acts
that threaten to crack
the brittle veneer
hiding the sneer
of the one hoping for fear
in those we hold dear
but in keeping them near
we can make it clear
we aim to press on
thru many more dawns.
