Stars
The moon was bright when we were stargazing.
I thought the stars were haphazardly scattered across the sky.
You didn’t.
You thought they were intentionally placed in every space.
I liked the idea of them being thrown like seeds and you liked the idea of them being carefully set.
So, we agreed to disagree.
Now the moon isn’t so bright.
And the

Forgotten Argument
She sees but black.
He sees only white.
She sees the day.
He sees the night.
Both firmly convinced
without any doubt
that the other knows nothing
of what they're talking about.
She will not bend.
Neither will he.
She says, "It Is."
He says, "It can't be."
Both are stubborn as mules.
Both do remain

Two Ravens
Two ravens in the summer dusk
Were, back and forth, debating
From two phone poles, loud and brusque
They kept deliberating
When one gave their rebuttal
The other answered back
But far be it from the kettle
To call the raven black
And while I stood observing
They looked at me askance
A creature undeserving
Of a simple sideways glance
On this one thing they did agree
Those

On Civil Disagreement
Because I may have opposing views on certain issues
There are vastly more things we see eye to eye about,
There’s no reason for anyone to break out the tissues.
We would agree on the freedom to stand up and shout
And the right to peacefully protest social injustices,
There are vastly more things we see eye to eye about.
We

A Disagreement With Rumi
"...if you are too careful love will not find you." ~Rumi
If you are not careful
Love will find you,
Like fire finds a tinder.

How To Embrace Life
HOW TO EMBRACE LIFE
Life is up to you
Either a confused strife
Or rev up your life
What to choose?
It's all up to you.
If stumble upon an argument
Accompanies disagreement
Inner commotion creates ripples
Our weaken system cripples
Differences break us apart
This pave the way to depart
If ready for peace
Issues ready to cease
Stability within
Stillness set in
Clarity touches to the core
Solutions

The Donald
So much of what is frothy babble
is laid before us as a truth when in truth
it is but frothy babble.
Each shiny coin newly mined and minted
with a fragrance green as the grasses
passes for a personage we would gather.
Coins as friends,
Ends justifying means,
The aftermath of fruitful beans.
Upon a curved light borne
he hones his friendships
as slivers

Going Fourth Into July
There is something in the air
Reflecting on freedom’s one day scare
Signing a declaration we want to be on our own
Handful self-proclaimed leaders setting a tone
It was John Hancock first holding the pen
Scripted it so large ‘an idea that needed to defend’
Thirteen colonies united together
In writing the royal a

Blood Test
Seeming to decipher,
The count of the sample,
Whether white, red or dead,
It appears, each is ample,
The blood of our lives,
Not the fluid, arterial,
But the beings, among them,
Usurped the toy in your cereal,
Their daily appearance,
At the start of your day,
Then emerging in time,
As the sun went away,
Their cohabitation,
With you, not by choosing,
But the result of divinity,
And the

A Disagreement
Marco Rubio
reminds
marchers against automated gun violence,
their pilgrimage views
oppose
what many TrueBlue Americans
support
as Second Amendment Rights.
Why hide
your own NRA Red supported agenda
You cannot politically
and economically afford
to be found
in this wrong?
So let's explore
with colonial ForeFathers
their Original Democratic Health Intent:
How sure are you
they
and their wives
and mothers
grandmothers
and children
would have supported
your right
to have a military-grade assault rifle
in your self-defensive

How Not To Stop a Disagreement
Do not let us quarrel anymore.
We would not if, but, you would let it go.
However, I can't because you continue to,
It's not my fault to stop you
for to win this I need stop all together,
You first.

Where Disagreement Is An Offence
No wise man is recognized in a market place
Here bought and sold only universal follies
Uniqueness is disregarded and an offence is taken
When you talk about things with different attitude
Disagreement is condemnation of what they believe
And turn their faces long, in heart bear a grudge
So a cleaver man avoids

My school is my dream

I cant stand it no more

A Disagreement
A n attempt to bamboozle him.
D irecting the abomination
I nto my inner soul.
S corn, in the flame of passion,
A ffection going nowhere.
G iving way to struggle, looking for a
R eason to cherish
E very yearning.
E nding this bitter taste,
M aking this relationship
E stranged.
N ever will it bloom
T o a tender love.
