False Balance

You sit on your fence

Claiming each side’s extreme

Gawking at recompense

While existing in a dream.

Don’t lose your balance

When the tear gas flies

I’d hate for you to fall

On the side that dies.

The fault in your morals

Is they submit to oppression

Dismiss your constitution

Kneel to aggression.

Fear becomes the playground

For division of each side

Unity must be the battleground

Where rights refuse to be denied
