Verse 1
**Form:** Sestina
**Commentator:** Megyn Kelly
**Rhyme Scheme:** A sestina does not have a traditional rhyme scheme, but relies on the repetition of six end-words from the first stanza in a specific, rotating pattern in the subsequent five stanzas, with all six words appearing in the final three-line envoi.
**Meter:** Primarily Iambic Pentameter, occasionally varying for emphasis and natural speech.
**Techniques:** Rhetorical questions, direct address, interrogative tone, emphasis on statistical data and anecdotal evidence from the transcript, sharp critiques of media and political figures, lament for societal decline, and a call for truth and accountability.
**The Echo of the Flames**
Five years have passed, a shadow still extends,
From days of fury, when the streets burned bright.
They call it protest, but the havoc transcends
All reason, plunging cities into dark night.
A narrative spun, where *justice* bends,
While public *trust* dissolves before our sight.
Remember then, the chaos, how it flew,
From broken glass to precincts set ablaze.
The cost immense, yet hidden from our view,
While hollow slogans filled those waking days.
A chilling silence, where the suffering grew,
And false accounts obscured the violent haze.
David Dorn, a captain, old and true,
Lost life defending what he built with might.
A pawn shop looted, under skies untrue,
A senseless act against the fading light.
The "mostly peaceful" lie, they pushed it through,
Ignoring horrors witnessed in plain sight.
From coast to coast, the bullies held their sway,
Demanding fists be raised, and voices mute.
No law, no order, just a grim display,
As silent citizens became their loot.
This manufactured rage that holds its day,
A bitter, lasting, poisonous root.
The cops, demoralized, handcuffed and bound,
Their duty challenged by a baseless plea.
Systemic racism? It's a hollow sound,
When data speaks of harsh reality.
More likely by their own, not cop, are found,
The tragic deaths that blind society.
And DEI, the grift that knows no shame,
A billion-dollar industry of *blame*.
No problem solved, just jobs for status-game,
Against white males, the prejudice the same.
A hollow promise whispered by a *flame*,
While merit’s light is tarnished by their aim.
Kamala Harris, in her lofty perch,
Declared they "should not stop," the fires fed.
While cities crumbled, from their fiery search,
No empathy for those who burned or bled.
A chilling message, a disturbing lurch,
From those whose words on chaos lightly tread.
The Minneapolis scars still linger deep,
Though money poured, a barren, hollow ground.
A man who owned his shop, could only weep,
"BLM was never here," the truth profound.
Just "capitalizing off a dead man's sleep,"
Where empty virtue-signals can be found.
These consent decrees, a federal strong-arm,
Imposed on precincts, stripping them of power.
A legal fiction, doing grievous harm,
To law and order, in their darkest hour.
No facts applied, just a preposterous charm,
That built a broken, dangerous tower.
"Disparate impact," is the driving creed,
If outcomes differ, then it must be hate.
No matter conduct, no, they sow the seed
Of victimhood, to seal a racial fate.
Ignoring crime, a desperate, biased deed,
That leaves our common safety at the gate.
From ShotSpotter deemed "racist" in its truth,
To cameras gone, for what their lenses showed.
A shocking blindness, lacking any proof,
To what the inner cities truly owed.
A leadership that squanders precious youth,
On false narratives, burdens heavily sowed.
Yet hope remains, a flicker in the dark,
As truth-tellers stand, and find their voice.
The grift is over, leaving its sad mark,
A principled and necessary choice.
Though battles rage, and shadows still embark,
For civil norms, a spirit can rejoice.
To fight the *blame*, and seek the honest *truth*,
At any *cost*, expose the brazen *lies*.
To heal the *decay*, and resurrect our *youth*,
And overcome the pervasive *shame* that flies.
Img Prompt 1
A single, stark image capturing the lingering impact of the 2020 Minneapolis riots. In the foreground, the skeletal remains of a building, charred and hollowed out, perhaps the remnants of the Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct, with graffiti scrawled across its decaying facade. Beyond it, in the midground, a partially rebuilt, but still scarred, commercial street, where some storefronts are boarded up or display "for lease" signs, contrasting with a few struggling businesses. The sky is overcast, a muted grey, reflecting a somber atmosphere. A subtle, almost imperceptible "George Floyd Square" sign is visible in the distance, partially obscured by the urban decay, hinting at the unfulfilled promises of rebuilding and healing. The overall color palette is desaturated, with deep charcoals, concrete greys, and faded, peeling paint, conveying a sense of unresolved trauma and persistent struggle.
Video Prompt 1
An 8-second video clip that dynamically illustrates the contrast between the chaos of the 2020 riots and their enduring, understated consequences. It begins with a rapid, chaotic montage (0-2 seconds): quick cuts of burning buildings, a police car engulfed in flames, protestors raising fists, and shattered storefronts—all with a shaky, handheld camera feel and overlaid with distorted shouts and sirens. This intense opening suddenly cuts to a still, almost desaturated wide shot (2-6 seconds) of "George Floyd Square" five years later: the camera slowly pans across a street that appears quiet but reveals lingering signs of neglect and decay, like boarded-up businesses and faded memorials. No people are visible, emphasizing the quiet abandonment. A slow, mournful piano chord plays. The final two seconds (6-8 seconds) abruptly zoom in on a close-up of a damaged, graffiti-covered wall, revealing a single, clear message scrawled over faded protest slogans: "Still here." The camera holds steadily on this graffiti, as the piano chord fades, replaced by the faint, distant sound of police sirens, leaving a sense of unresolved tension.
Verse 2
**Commentator:** Alan Dershowitz
**Meter:** Primarily iambic pentameter, with variations to accommodate natural speech patterns and emphasis, maintaining a generally consistent rhythm.
**Rhyme Scheme:** A-B-C-D-E-F (end-word repetition in a fixed pattern, as per sestina form).
**Techniques:** Rhetorical questions, historical allusions, legalistic framing, stark contrasts, direct address, and emphatic declarations, mirroring Dershowitz's analytical yet impassioned style.
**The Academy's Decline: A Sestina for Truth's Return**
The halls of academe, once beacons bright,
Now dim their lamps, consumed by dogma's flame,
Where truth's pursuit yields to a narrow **view**,
And ancient wisdom bends to modern creed.
A chilling silence falls on what was once so free,
As merit's lost, and reason yields to **DEI**.
We see the double standard, plain for all to see,
A vile hypocrisy that shuns the **view**
Of those who challenge, longing to be free.
For "diversity" now excludes, a twisted creed,
And Jew and Zionist, by prejudice's flame,
Are cast as pariahs, victims of warped **DEI**.
From river to the sea, a hateful, chanted **creed**,
Incites to violence, though they claim it's free.
This rhetoric, unchecked, fans bigots' flame,
And silence grants consent to this dark **view**.
"Dismantle DEI," I argue, for its twisted **DEI**
Is root of campus hatred, robbing truth's pure light.
No longer are our students truly taught to see
The Western canon, its profound and rich **creed**,
But taught to scorn, to deconstruct, to view
Each masterwork as simply power's flame,
A smoke screen for oppression, never truly free.
This is the cancer, birthed by woke **DEI**.
When Larry Summers spoke a thought, a scientific **view**,
Of human difference, seeking insight, free,
He faced the fury, fanned by partisan flame.
His brilliant mind was silenced by their **creed**,
A warning clear: conform to this new **DEI**,
Or face the purge, and sacrifice the light.
So Trump, in his blunt way, shines forth a piercing light,
Though methods sometimes err, and critics **view**
His swift decrees as crude, or rarely free
From legal quagmire, fueling fiercer flame.
But something must be done, against this dangerous **creed**,
This festering infection, bred by false **DEI**.
To strip the federal purse, if bigotry's the **creed**,
To let the sunlight in, and set the campus free,
From all the dark deceit, ignited by their **DEI**.
Then maybe truth can bloom, and wisdom's precious light
Will pierce the shadow, banish every hateful **view**,
And quench the anti-Western, antisemitic flame.
In gratitude for what was built, for freedom's steady flame,
We must embrace the merit that transcends the **creed**,
And challenge this illiberal, destructive **DEI**.
For future generations, schools must be truly free,
To seek pure knowledge, with an open, honest **view**,
And banish all the darkness, bringing back the light.
Img Prompt 2
A striking visual dichotomy representing the modern university. On one side, classic, ivy-covered collegiate architecture, perhaps Harvard's iconic gates, subtly crumbling or overlaid with digital glitches, symbolizing the erosion of traditional academic values. Emerging from this decay, but also engulfing it, are abstract, geometric shapes and vibrant, almost corporate-style gradients in shades of green, purple, and blue, forming the letters "DEI" with an upward-pointing arrow. These shapes are entangled with barbed wire or pixelated censorship bars, obscuring images of diverse student faces that appear subtly distressed or silenced. On the opposing side, a single, glowing, golden keyhole or a beam of pure white light cuts through the darkness, hinting at "Truth" and "Meritocracy" struggling to break free from the entanglement. The overall mood is one of tension and ideological conflict, with a sophisticated, slightly unsettling color palette blending academic tradition with the starkness of digital abstraction.
Video Prompt 2
**Scene:** An 8-second rapid-cut sequence depicting the ideological battleground of a modern university campus. Visuals & Action: 0-1 second: Quick, almost subliminal flashes: The iconic John Harvard statue, then a shot of diverse students walking purposefully, followed by a fleeting glimpse of a heavily pixelated or taped-over mouth, symbolizing censorship. 1-3 seconds: A dynamic montage of protest signs in motion, hand-held, rapidly changing – some with pro-Palestinian slogans ("From the River to the Sea"), others with counter-protest messages or calls for free speech. Quick cuts to student faces, some passionate, some looking bewildered or fearful. The audio is a cacophony of overlapping chants and muffled shouts. 3-5 seconds: A sudden, jarring cut to a dimly lit, austere university lecture hall. A lone figure at a podium, resembling Alan Dershowitz, makes an emphatic gesture. Text overlays flash: "DEI Bureaucracy" and "Anti-Western Agenda." The camera quickly zooms in on his stern, resolute face. 5-7 seconds: A surreal blend: Campus buildings appear to warp and ripple, as if under a distorting force. Interspersed are rapid cuts of digital graphs showing declining academic standards and rising "bias incidents," depicted with harsh, digital lines and red warning indicators. The sound shifts to an almost electronic, discordant hum. 7-8 seconds: A final, impactful shot: The word "TRUTH" appears boldly on screen, briefly illuminated in a sharp, almost painful light, before being quickly obscured by a falling cascade of black, pixelated squares, ending in abrupt darkness. A final, isolated sound bite: "It's worse than he says."
Atmosphere: Urgent, chaotic, and foreboding. The rapid cuts and jarring transitions create a sense of unease and ideological conflict. The sound design builds from cacophony to a sharp, unsettling silence at the end, emphasizing the suppression of dissenting views and the perceived loss of truth.

### Sonnet for Original Image
Upon a ground where crimson waves do flow, And sable depths with vibrant streaks unite, A gracious host, whose wisdom bids us know, Doth hold the stage in eloquence and light. With golden mark, a symbol strong and clear, And polished mic, a voice she doth impart, She stands prepared, dispelling doubt and fear, To speak the truth from an unyielding heart. A thousand shows, and many more to come, Her countenance a smile, both bright and bold, As keen debate dispels the dull and numb, And vital stories bravely are unrolled. So in this light, where crimson shadows play, Her reasoned voice holds forth, and holds its sway.
