On the Eve of the First Debate

It would seem the majority of the people
Lean toward the two poles
Of mistrust and belief.
Grudgingly polarized
Between disenchantment and hope.
Disillusionment controls,
Yet, belief maintains the upper hand
In the calamity that is today.
Politics is a trench war run via circus management.
The partisan’s ability to compartmentalize
Prevents both bewilderment and imminent.
It feeds the conflict between belief or mistrust.
