Is the solution
so simple and black and white
that you can tweet it?
Weighing in with your two cents
isn’t risking your money.
Is the right answer
pitting our us against them
in a blind fool’s game?
No one wins a war of words
without caring how you score.
Is this the moment
when we prove how right we are,
simply counting coup
to display our bravery
in a virtual showdown?
Is the solution
shouting at our enemies
until they go deaf?
Just being the loudest noise
is a hollow victory.
