James Howerton Poet Spoken Word

Agree to disagree

Why do we always
agree to disagree
instead
of agreeing to see
the harmony
in eye-eye 
possibilities.
See
if you can follow
me.
If we let go
of what we believe 
to our duty
to make
the other person
see
our point of view,
if we dispensed
with the energy 
we
erroneously put in
to desperately 
want to be right,
we just might create 
a peacefulness 
that can set us free
from always wanting 
to be right.
Understand?, 
If we always agree
to disagree,
instead of agreeing 
to see 
the harmony
in surrendering 
to the reality,
to the possibility 
that just possibly
someone else's
point of view
actually
has merit,
we will never see
the beauty
in humility,
and realize
the other person's 
point of view
is valid too. 
It's simple 
mathematics.. 
Follow me.
We always agree
to disagree,
which is why
we
are always
at each other's 
throats,
and when we do
this,
we are not part
of the solution,
but a part
of the problem.
