Who is right and who is wrong

Somewhere, a poem exists in our minds about love, life, politics, natural disasters, religion, and contentious issues.  

Suddenly, political uprisings and wars emerge, with ISIS and figures like Donald Trump acting as modern crusaders.  

Here we are, as citizens, once more feeling disheartened, striving to discover beauty in life amidst chaos, seeking a balance between who is right and who is wrong, caught up in the obsessions with politicians like a game of tic-tac-toe.  

Somewhere, there exists a poem, one that is waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting.  

There are too many words and not enough ink to print them, with too few people who care about such issues.  

The ups and downs caused by natural disasters stem from the manipulations within the political landscape, the missing emails, the concealed birth certificates, and the beauty queen who gained weight.  

What about the real issues? What about the economy, war and famine, child molestation, bigotry, and deception?  

Suddenly, political uprisings and wars arise, with ISIS and figures like Donald Trump as today's crusaders.  

Here we are, as citizens, feeling disheartened once again.
