Andy Chunn Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

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

Michelle Faulkner February 18, 2022 at 8:33 AM 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 - Andy Chunn February 18, 2022 at 10:51 AM 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.
