so far to the left
so far to the right
no common ground
found in each
others insight
the political divide
becoming an even wider
chasm
violence erupting
society gripped
by a spasm
the center position
always ignored
neither party attempting
routes unexplored
melding together
a better choice
the path ahead
of one universal voice
so far to the left
so far to the right
no common ground
found in each
others insight
A couple of weeks ago, I watched a television documentary about the divide between left and right factions of American politics. My poem is based on the theme of differences on the respective sides.
