Agree To Disagree

I don’t understand the way That hatred seems to rule Every minute of every day It seems to gain more fuel Dave told us years ago That “We Just Disagree” But now we choose to hate and so No answers will there be Cooperation is a lost art Collaboration can’t be found Real solutions will never start When hatred still abounds There was a time not long ago When opposite sides could talk Design and ideas would flow Our leaders walked the walk That time is gone, it seems for good And hatred rules the day Discussions turn to attacks so rude There’s nothing left to say It seems that now we never find When two on opposite sides Disagree, but still are kind To others far and wide “Agree to disagree” I’ve heard the phrase And try to comprehend That differences, like a smoky haze Don’t make you hate your friend So make a change, just try and see You’ll help this world go round Don’t hate because you disagree And answers will be found

Hi Andy, this is so well crafted and moving, you are so right, we must learn to disagree with respect and still be willing to hear the other side, and should fear the day when there's nothing left to say -

Thank you Michelle. Your words are most appreciated. I have lived long enough to remember when we worked together for a common goal, like the welfare of our nation. I'm afraid that time is gone but, as an eternal optimist, I still pray we can agree to disagree.
