Holding Hands Across Fences
Ok, I get it, we disagree
but can we get back to decency?
I don’t have to hate you
you don’t have to hate me.
Where is the understanding and the love?
Why do we fight each other, can’t we rise above?
What about humility and kindness my friends?
Let’s please please please not give up on them.
For I see a future not far away
where polarized sides come together as one.
They hold hands across fences
and look into the others eyes with compassion.
And the conversations had
are not about being right.
Instead they bring connection
and understanding to unite.
I believe in this future hope
but I won’t just wait for it to come.
I will play into this new song now
making kindness and love my ever-beating drum.
