LESSON FROM THE BIRDS


In this deeply divided country
where we treat one another with disdain…
where we use the most damaging and hurtful words…
may we take a page out of nature…
and learn a lesson from the birds

For we will never achieve a peaceful and balanced flight…
when the right wing hates the left
and the left wing hates the right…

For every bird knows..
when it looks up to the sky….
the left wing needs the right wing
and the right wing needs the left
If it’s is ever going to fly.
