Hard Won
We can all think
differently
While instantaneously feeling
the same
We can politically straddle the
great divide
While below loving the canyons
and plains
We can put all prejudice and
opinion aside
When the outcome is cast
zero-sum
And in those moments our greatness
calls loudest and true
With the blood of a freedom
—hard won
(Grantham New Hampshire: March, 2015)
