A war waged,
quite long.

Voices, vituperative,
Steely, scathing.

Victims lying hither
And thither. Comatose

awareness instilling bodies
with cauldron of bubbling bile,

ready to be spewn
on adversaries, mutually,

Obfuscating history,
Obliterating society.

One had Stalin,
One had Hitler.

Unquestioned fealty, Utmost faith,
Untethered authority, and Unbridled power

Made men monsters, monsters men made;
Monsters men make.

Monsters which left nothing Left.
Monsters didn't right Right.

Meanwhile, amidst all this hue and
Cry, bloodied centrist cries to cast its carcass.
