Over The Top Rap

Over The Top Rap

In all the fervor
of rarer than rare 
black and white certainty
it's so easy
to lose perspective
in passions fire of intensity 
and magnify the degree
of the nasty offense
in this unjust
world of ambiguous gray

Lead us not 
into the nuclear powered fervor
of self righteous indignation
and deliver us
from ourselves

Because

truth be told

nobody hears

the condescending  

know it all

even when they're right

Thank you sir for the kind critique

 I had a very difficult time coherently articulating what I was trying to say in this very heavily edited and downsized poem

I never could come up with a decent title :)
