Glen Schwartz Poet Rhyme

Two Hands

We all have two hands,
                              a left and a right.
                         Our country's the same,
                        except theirs always fight..

                        One side feeds the poor,
                            until they are fat.
                      The other cuts off all food,
                          and says that is that..

                          One holds up a sign ,
                     that says give up your guns.
                        The other holds a gun,
                   and says put down your signs.. 

                             And here I sit,
                  stuck between both the lines...

                  We can find middle ground,
                          it's all up to you.
                Or we can leave this country,
                         broken in two..

Lyric Man July 2, 2018 at 2:42 AM Hi Glenn.. Congrats on being a featured poet this week. This poem is certainly worthy of that recognition. Blessings!

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2017 at 12:20 AM This is very simply stated but yes, it kind of puts it all in a capsule to see the main differences. The good and the bad of both sides. I really wish they could all come to a compromise, How hard can it be? Good grief. VERY well done, Glen!! Glen Schwartz May 30, 2017 at 6:37 PM Thanks Andrea, I think there is no compromise because they are politicians not middle class people..
