Yes, you have that freedom to choose-
but understand, a side means separation,
with that comes condemnation.
Your condemnation causes sides to collide.
There's no peace in that, there's no progress in that.
You want to move forward, well don't just verbally attack.
Transcend this hate and move past the politics,
because no one is right, why can't that ever click?
Its a tug of war and you're so righteous in your thought,
you don't realize, that compassion is your only shot,
at changing minds to change direction,
to change this world without someone's objection.
You want to quote Gandhi, well live what you speak,
like when it comes to Democrats or Republicans,
don't hate on the side which you feel is "weak"....
maybe even stupid, confused or ignorant....
but then obviously you didn't understand what Gandhi's words meant.
This is what I don't agree with, forget the red and blue,
it's how people treat each other, like they haven't got a clue-
of what love is, of what community is...
of what a nation united is..
Its sad and it makes me livid, makes me not want to be involved,
because we waste time bickering and nothing is solved.
So tell me, why should I take your side,
when everyone handles themselves without any pride.
Disregard for respect, for integrity.
I'm not joining in because this hate is not for me.
You think your status updates on F.B,
your false facts from the news,
make you better than the other, sorry- you're just as confused.
I don't care if its CNN or FOX, the media isn't reliable,
when everyones an "expert" on how to run this country-
for me thats just not plausible,
since all minds are so damn pliable.
I'm going to pray for this nation and hope for the best,
and also hope that you can see all of this clashing,
is not how we put issues to rest.
It's not how we unite and join arms,
It's not helping us, it's doing more harm.
