Red Or Blue

Faith is an attempt to coerce truths responsibility Implicit restricting through ones viability Power depending on ones fear or weakness Remains stubborn with frameworks obliqueness Violence has no place in this character by design By which I am vicariously compelling to all realign All have the right to believe different from others Regardless of religion we are still sisters and brothers So true if you identify as either color of red or blue Its to humanity whom we should always stay true Realize my thoughts aren’t as you, yourself think Our countries downfall could now be on the brink I don’t foresee all others to share my opinion Are we all not human and not someone’s minion Give respect for our differences and understand What our founding fathers expected in this new land

Hi Brenda, I heard you loud and clear, at the end day, we are linked together because we are all human. I am a firm believer that we can agree to disagree. Thanks for writing such a write. Have a great day and weekend-Alexis

Arabs and Jews are genetic siblings yet they have been happily slaughtering each other for centuries - as have brothers and sisters around the world. We all have a right to think/believe differently, but not to impose those beliefs on others . . .. . Enjoyed!
