Talk politics, walk
side by side, why can’t we
share a vision? Constantly
bickering, stoking fires
and division.
And we weep,
and we wail.
Gnash our teeth
to angry words
echoing in chambers.
Can we not stop, pause,
reflect how our words
hurt our own cause?
Seek to heal, do no harm
while listening to others.
Yet we weep,
and we wail,
gnash our teeth
to angry words
echoing in chambers.
Drowned voices, lost in shouts
of trumped-up tales
flaming fictive fear
of others.
We need to stop
to talk, listen
and learn from
others.
Still we weep,
and we wail,
gnash our teeth
to angry words
echoing in chambers.
