SLANDER

Of the world we can't agree,
there may be different views,
elements in the electrum,

seeing different hues
of the same spectrum,
rhetoric we chew,
in lieu of legitimate
agendum,

at will they slander,
manipulating boundaries,
hunter with antlers,
pride like a badger,

in assumptions
they blind the truth
as they right the wrongs
in league referendums,
and batter
by friendship banners,

the bitter taste,
to walk on slate,
if none of it matters.
