My resolve has been tested as
this country has segregated
itself due to conflicting views,
speculated opinions and race
The PALPABLE DISCORD
shakes me beyond speech,
yet I am reluctantly asked
to render my idle thoughts
The divide widens daily
as the rhetoric conflict
escalates to childlike spats
resolving no tangible issues
Remain mindful to be clear
and levelheaded with regard
to all things... all things, albeit
large or small in detail.

as the rhetoric conflict
escalates to childlike spats
resolving no tangible issues
Remain mindful to be clear
and levelheaded with regard
to all things... all things, albeit
