Politics and Friendship

Politics and friendship
Don't get along so fine
The former makes us crazy
And sometimes asinine
The latter can't be stepped on
When the former disagrees
The former can kill the latter
With a terminal disease
Sometimes there is no cure
For what foolish people say
In their penchant for political
Their mouths get in the way
Friends will never all agree
With political report
Friendship can be threatened
With unthinkable retort
Opinions thought provoking
When voiced with common sense
Are means for great discussion
Not for putting up defense
If friendship is important
When politics get in the way
A considerate discussion
Beats an ultimatum any day
When political position
Heads friendship in the queue
It's best to change the conversation
That's what friendly people do
