Blown Away By the Wind

Must we fight and lash out at each other? Spinning a blanket of ‘negativity’, One that never comforts, with gaping holes Must we carry on ‘blaming’ one side, then the other? When both sides have done wrong - Division growing deeper - While corruption is out of control Pulling strings all along, instigating… - No Accountability - Must we let it mold our minds? Tell us what to think about the other side? When it turns out being the person right next to you - A fellow neighbor - Slowly words, ‘Love thy neighbor’ are lost… Destroyed, going, gone… - As if blown away by the wind - Heidi Sands 6/19/18
