Politically Speaking

I have reason to believe there are no beliefs with any reason And the only changes that will occur are the changes in the season Human beings are not being human and mankind is not kind to man And not everyone is doing the things that everyone really can We complain about complainers and believe the headline news We don’t really know the platforms of the leaders that we choose We haven’t met our next door neighbors and lock all of our front doors We hate the mess our country is in but won’t do our household chores We have polarized political views and have lost the middle ground We are buried so deep in a hill of lies the truth cannot be found We close our eyes to pedophiles but won’t let our children hug each other Are terrified of same-sex marriage but divorce our children’s’ mother If we could just stop and listen, we might find we violently agree About all the real issues that are important to you and me If we took the time to understand the points of the other side We might feel safe coming out of our house and not feeling the need to hide We should stop letting news anchors tell us what to think and form our own opinions We, the people, should once again get control of our own dominion Don’t vote for a slogan or straight-line red or blue Take the time to learn the issues and let the platforms speak to you But, who am I to say all this from the keyboard side of my PC When I myself have no intent to get active politically
