Contemptlation

 (Day three) contemplation 

[Prompt] reflect - consider - embrace - challenge 

{Style} free verse

Contemplation

We've had quite a time

Time to contemplate 

Time to reflect 

Time for contempt

Time to deflect

Consideration was also a casualty

We needed to isolate

But forgot to insulate

Our hearts from viral attack

Do you embrace your trollish side 

Or blandly follow the bland 

In long lines for short shots?

How does that raise red flags 

Into the face of those who challenge

Everything for challenge sake

Forsaking truth for thier truth

Scientists studies mean less than a click

But formerly stupid useless government 

Suddenly developed seemingly magical

Machiavellian genius agendas

Simple steps are now too terrible a burden

To care if you're killing your neighbor 

When did we go 

From considerate contemplation

To feel like compassionate care workers

Are overseerers on a social plantation

When did those who should be

In honor preferring one another 

Leave gentle contemplation

To walk in condemnation 

Living in a contempt nation
