A political statement
Needs to be heard
By people who matter
Not lines that are blurred
Trust is an issue
And what’s good for us all
Not perks for a few
And the rest to the wall
I want to feel safe
And valued as one
Not facing the barrel
Of an anger fuelled gun
Why is the question
So hard to discern ?
Speak from the heart
With a voice of concern
Lives are what matter
We all are as one
That is the day when
We will have won
You are important
And I am as well
That’s the first step
The hate we must quell
This fight must be forward
Our world is being slammed
No arguments between us
Politics be damned!

The untruth of politics is beginning to eat itself Pam. I pray that what is born from the ashes is that truth we so sorely miss 😀

I blame religion, too. There’s even more hypocrisy and narrow mindedness there.

“You are important
And I am as well”
The degree to which people don’t accept that simple statement is the problem.

You are absolutely right! Until there is a complete ‘us’ there will always be a ‘them’.

It sounds simple but too many people make it complicated.

Too many boundaries, lines, flags, emblems, clubs, groups and lines in the sand….😞
