Good Vs Evil?

The more I observe politicians everywhere the more it sickens me As I watch two incompatible sides struggling for supremacy. They think they're in a good versus evil battle but when all is said and done Each side thinks that they are good and the other's the evil one. It's not just politicians, for everywhere you look you see anger and dissension We find many groups at odds with one another, in a constant state of tension. Religions, Conservatives, Liberals, countries fighting their own ethnicities And the only thing they all agree on is that they disagree. 'We are right and they are wrong.' Each side firmly decries Leading to many a climactic battle but not to compromise. One thing we have learned from these battles is that both sides lie and taunt It seems good people will say and do evil to get the things they want. And when the battle's over we are hard pressed, even if we could... Deciding who is evil...determining who is good. This has been the mindset of the world from the beginning and would it be too bizarre If I ask a simple question: How's that worked for us so far? What if we saw life not as constant battles between good and depravity But more like a walk together...a journey of discovery? Discovering the things we have in common and becoming more aware Not of the differences between us but in the attributes we share. Living in a world of people who all epitomize How we can live together through compassion and compromise. I know it's easy to write of pipe dreams...and of castles in the sky But given the history of the world to date...it might be worth a try?
