There should be no sides
because neither sides
are good nor bad,
they both have something
to fight for, to defend,
and neither is backing up
because no one wants to be
tagged as a loser, a dirt
on the other side’s soles,
a miserable dog begging
for a master. No. No one.
Everyone started finding
their sides, and hating
the other. A coin has two
sides, and you either choose
one. But a coin is a circle,
why can’t everyone see that,
that it is a circle, with no sides,
but infinite loops, curves,
that no one wins, and no one
loses. Where there were
no teams nor something
to side with because
everyone is connected,
with no middle to divide
the left from the right.
A circle, that without a half,
it would never be perfect,
but will just be a fragment
so people won’t always
have to extinguish the other
side to have another always
facing up, and the other down.
It should have been a circle,
with either is up or down,
it would always find for its half,
no barren lands, no hand cuffs,
no blood and gun shots,
no bombs, no children lost
and parents dead. No left
and right, but a circle
longing for its continuity,
its infinity that everyone
is connected, essential,
in the loops of life.
No one wins, No one loses.
Everyone is equal.
