Unraveled

Deteriorating democracy
Hating the hypocrisy
Condescending complacence
Isolated in ignorance

Riot enraged rivalry

Blanketed by bigotry
Resistant to recognize
Diminished to demonize

Ideological irony
Reaffirms our reality
Reeling from repugnant rhetoric
Fraying the social fabric
Polluting society's pillars
Tempering tenuous triggers
Marred media in the midst
Communities challenged to coexist

Afflicted with adversity
Challenge critics civilly
Be bold but don't bicker
Be better not bitter
Seek strength in solidarity
Protest into policy
Delve to decry this disease
Pry to provoke peace
