One Wish

Politically speaking I lean to the left which makes it difficult to unite with people who, politically speaking, are leaning to the right. Even though we have our differences I was brought up thinking it would be wise if both sides want to progress…is to find a compromise. But over the years the fundamental differences in our beliefs in our souls and in our hearts have made compromise impossible…have torn us all apart. To the point where we're calling each other names when saying politically I lean left or I lean right is not a path to compromise… but a source of anger… an invitation for a fight. So today I make a wish for peace, acceptance and understanding I make this wish with all my heart as I watch a country I once loved…tear itself apart. This wish I shall not make upon on the wind…to be lost among the trees I shall not share it with the clouds…or upon the seven seas… A wish, like each of us, need it's freedom…to travel wide and far so to give this wish a chance to succeed…I shall attach it to a star. And send it to the heavens…not just to my God but to all your Gods too with the hope they will unite and make this wish come true. I'm not sure we will ever find our peace It seems, politically speaking, of solutions we are bereft but for me…and for all those friends on my right perhaps one wish is all have left.
