Interlude after 10th Anniversary of Sep 11 tragedies

I wonder at my sense of wonderment
at the manner which labels are easily spent
from the mouths of those whom I admire
in reduction of an idea's or a life's content
to single ideological sentiment
without regard to that which shapes competing desire.
