Zeal

committed division
what’s the deal?
how do we explain the passion?
or more to the point:
how do we heal
recover a means more rational?

it’s more than a euphoric squeal
no teen girl screaming audience
goes beyond anything you feel
commitment, action, obedience

not a question of what is real
just slave to a view of reality
not moral improvement
but just a big wheel
driving groups into hyperbole
