WALL OF ARROGANCE

“An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person’s main task in life – becoming a better person.” Leo Tolstoy

headlines started it all
and the mob went mad
a timeline is transformed
into a launching pad
lines are unfairly drawn
while on the safer side
facts are often twisted
alleged hostiles are reviled

harassment from left and right
prejudice trounces rationality
both sides of the spectrum
share the same liability
unrestrained conceit
in the guise of Democracy
on the wall of arrogance
freedom becomes an irony
