Political Landscapes

You and I
Cross swords
On either side
Of the political divide
We hate one another
For our defiant opposition
Words becoming crude
Blunt instruments
To mangle and maim
Only one of us
Can be right, we think
And the other must be
Wrong
We dare not look too
Closely
And see the vulnerability
Of our own blindness:
How perception can be
Accurate
From more than one
Angle
2 + 2=4
And so does
1 + 3 or
4 + 0 or 0 + 4
When we stop communicating
Because of our anger
Our frustration, our resentment
Then we have truly lost
Whatever it is
That will lead us out
Of the darkness
All of us
In the haughty disarray of
Our own minds
We condemn ourselves to
The intransigent ego
Killing the hopeful
Possibility
Of a viable understanding
That is both reasonable and
Wise.
