Our fringes are now stronger than our center.
One, for progress & one, nuclear winter.
A few feverish faiths voiced with fervency.
Matched by decibels for Earth’s conservancy.
One, cooperative social democracy.
One, accelerationist theocracy.
Bound by nowt but the will to leave things better.
Or, dogma bound & living to its letter.
Minority rule always ends in collapse.
New fringe slides out while the old’s buried to Taps.
