“Liberals hate it”
shouts the red-white-blue billboard,
Talk radio claiming fame
for who’s not listening.
“Anybody but “Bush”
chants the red-white-blue electorate
Elections fought solely on
who should not lead.
Liberals as non-conservatives
Conservatives as non-liberals
Independents as neither-nors
All swim in their own
Abysmal relativism.
Being this, makes me not that,
yin makes me not yang.
This binary world,
forsakes polynomious “ands”
for monomaniacal “ors.”
Lost in Zeno’s paradox
We stand for
standing for standing for standing for . . .
something infinitely removed
from collective conscience,
something long-corrupted to self-survival
in a zero-sum world.
Even as “This I believe”
is resurrected for NPR,
to parse the pervasive logical “not”
for singular statements of conviction,
some still spurn the positive and declare
what does not exist.
Even as my world
seems an abyss of what is “not right.”
I search for something dimly there
to help fire my soul to be:
and find I at least believe
in belief.

One of my resurrected short-lived blog poetry/photo posts. Still if not more relevant as elections approach here . . .
Now I am VERY happy you came out of hiding Schylines :-)
