"Politics 2014" (by Joe DiMino)
Isolation comes with all
New territories:
Ask anyone who has stepped outside
The norm; for we comfort in likeness
Safer to stand in than out
Present no nose to flatten
So stood Columbus on his deck
Alone, amidst the wailing;
And Galileo at his helm of stars
Spit up
For his depth of reason
Courage to sail
The uncharted
Priests, often
Their own serpents
And Truth, as
Practiced by politicians
A murky sea
When navigated
Their crimes
Of greed
And ignorance
Best exposed
.
