Unsettled scores four ago<\/p>\n
Charlatans disgorged our secrets<\/p>\n
Picked at the scabs, pulled at the seams<\/p>\n
Poured on the Gasoline<\/p>\n
Every man for himself<\/p>\n
Taking up arms against the Other<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One step to the center and please. And hurry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Into the news decade come the factions<\/p>\n
Alternately storming or limping<\/p>\n
Battle hardened, worn and weary<\/p>\n
Unready for a plague<\/p>\n
Unrest<\/p>\n
Reset a few frozen ideologies<\/p>\n
Melt identities<\/p>\n
Together anew or further askew?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One step to the center please. And hurry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The solution is not November<\/p>\n
Opportunities arrive much more than every four<\/p>\n
We are people within<\/p>\n
Not only partisans<\/p>\n
Surrender your opinions<\/p>\n
Hold up the banner of human<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One step to the center please. And hurry.<\/p>\n
