Round World No Sides

ROUND WORLD NO SIDES Tragically, while our country's weep, we'll be nice to Nice, and hold up France. We are bruised and beaten bloody red, holding down Baton Rouge's dismal stance. The children fall and forever sleep in Nice, they're cold in Sandy Hook. Adults are lost in Bernardino, Orlando, and everywhere we look. Whose turn is next to be a black sheep, typecast by color and then oppressed? Carnage of Cowboys and Indians, now play Cops and Robbers out west. What are the religions we should keep, in belief of one or many gods? Religions for good and for the love are together, viciously at odds. Broadcasts of NASA with a furtive peek, we seek aliens so benevolent. in ignorance and dull denial, that on earth we are malevolent. Political hatred, yes we heap, on friend, neighbor, sister or brother. In slander and in backbiting brawl, proving we don't love one another. When do we all take that quantum leap, learning about compassion faster? If we see that we each own ourselves, will there be need for slave or master? By Edlynn Nau © July 19, 2016
