Can we agree to disagree?

I stand not to repress, 
I mean only to express,
My opinions without another feeling less.

Old conflict that hits all stages,
Every page of every ages,
The battle indifference & domainence still rages.

Each a diverse human being,
Common ground far between,
"Political correctness" is nothing but a dream.

No one's truth is more true,
No one's story defines you,
Same points, details differ our view.
 
You don't need my OK,
Individual validation, me to say,
Just by asking, you gave your power away,

No one person's way is right,
People revell in this fight,
This future has no exit plan in sight.

Hard yet simple it can be,
Hinders most on delivery,
Essential for hearing you & me.

Will be wrong to prove right,
Need to be heard, need their sight,
Can't we pass like peaceful ships in the night?

Not what we said but how we say,
Usually complicates our way,
Come together, not tomorrow but today.

Our future will brighten.. you'll see,
A reality with clarity,
If we can genuinely agree to disagree.

Understanding, communication, respect above all.
We must let go, let the ego fall.

We can agree on indifference while maintaining personal truth,
A message of peace to pass on to our youth.

No pressure, my mates, 
This not what this for, 
All I am conveying,
No need for this war.

"No need for this war" sums up the theme of the poem I think. Better just to agree to disagree. Nice.
