A tough row to hoe

Sometimes
It seems,
It has been
A tough row to hoe.

Sometimes the path
of some rough-n-ready folk,
Careens too close
than seems for safety.

To them the world
Is plain and simple:
There are Good Guys
And there are Bad Guys,
Us and Them.
There is no one else.

If someone
Is not one of Us,
He must be one of Them,
Those Bad Guys.

If anyone can't see that
So plain and simple,
They must be
Really sick,
Take them to
The mental hospital.

Our way is
The only true way,
All else is
False and evil.

So, folks,
If you are
Confused,
Join up with us,
We will tell you
What to do.

As another fresh load
Of them careens past,
Their feedback loop
Seems partially broken,
It helps to remember
There are many kinds of
Fanged veggies in the field
Not just that crew
Of the Funny Farm.

So back away
To
A more
Distant place,
And see the fuller view,
The lush green fields
Span so far and wide,
God's Creation
So wondrously
Richly beautiful.
