Looking For Purple

How does one interpret, Everyday moments We all want clarity and forthrightness, So why the discombobulated torment Of words that distort the facts, Untruthful twisted personal attacks The world is a grand stage, Where reputations can be made Or lost, By words tossed Without validity, Or connection to reality Yet the guilty play the victim, For others truth is the conviction Or is incarceration their demand, For the one in command Tragically demeaning opinions, Only further divisions Where red and blue, Have divergent views About black and brown, And the color of their town Political power seeks to secede, Caretaking what people and the environment need For all that was inclusive, Destruction is their motive Targeting personal freedoms, Empowered by hypocritical Christians Exclusionary and perverse, Because of a bible verse Tolerance only for that which is white, In America that’s not right Change only happens if parties can agree, I am wondering what our future will be.
