------------

Politics
used to have
borders
Within which
the battles
were found

But now
those conflicts
spread far and wide
Running
friendships
and families aground

The baby
thrown out
with the bathwater
Noses
cut off
to spite every face

Civility
gone
fraternity pawned
With zero sum
outcomes
— in place
