Let's Try Love

The world is a cold place. The powerful conscript the poor for war so that profits soar. We see an eagle and think how majestic never stopping to analyze what we're left with? How pathetic do these prophecies have to be before God intercedes? It's up to the Us's. The you and me's but today I woke up not wanting to see who won the midterms but who's holding a grudge in his hand there is a gun. Shooting will persist. This division will continue to split. Red and Blue our greatest divide, how did we end up being so one color focused? I'm glad for whoever won. It's not the winners but the power I fear. I feel powerless living at the behest of someone else's mercy. Those mercies that say her body is not hers. My antibodies aren't fine. And documentaries I choose to watch have to be scrutinized and remain hush-hush so that we stay so out of touch with what made us American. We've fallen a mighty long way from great days. Honestly, we can no longer hope to stay the same. We've changed slipping ever so closer to the point of greed is all we'll know. We argue instead of listen and place ego juxtaposed to healing and say one step is too far away. Love thy neighbor as we love ourselves was the second best statement ever written But utterly fail at following the first. Our love is devoid of reflection. I see me in you. I recognize your pain. I acknowledge your hurt. Now, lets find our worth. It can't be separate but equal. Can't be two sides of the same coin. We need to bleed like cooper in penny. One of one and solidly so. Not so easily disregard but all voices heard. Turn down that megaphone. Let the soft spoken be heard. It's funny. I voted for a President that called me un-American and today was the first time I choose to forgive. We carry the sins of social media longer than we'll ever know. Unfortunately, I came to deliver a message but no one was home. They were either celebrating a victory or loading a gun. Nobody wins if all of us lose. Let's try love.
