Layers

Layers

Strip away the superficial.
Place political correctness aside.
Forgive hurts of the past.
Erase all tension and harsh feelings.
Seek thoughts of love and understanding.
This is what you’ll find.
I’m you. You’re me.
We are the same
In truth, there isn't a divide.

Warren, can you please have T-shirts, banners and car stickers made saying this and distribute them to every person who tries to divide us by generalizing "all liberals" "all Republicans" and "all Democrats"? They forget there are some of us who are independents. We do not even get mentioned. This one is a FAV for me!
