This feeling of disillusionment weighs heavily
I want to yell at them
shake them
awaken them from this Twilight Zone
Why can't they see it?
How could they have forgotten?
We were supposed to be in this together
United we stand
Divided we fall
Was it all for nothing?

a poem that can be read by everyone, just as passionately where ever they align politically. thank you for the post!

Great job Miranda at making the point succinctly! It provokes one to think of their own position in the political realm, and hopefully question the divisive chasm we have allowed our political machinations to veer into in such a volatile way.

It's so funny the way one can start to view people as completely different than everything they are. We are so much more alike than we think. When I feel that horrible feeling of us vs. them, it's good to put it into perspective how everything they are reading and watching is making them feel just as angry. I have decided to now only attend to things I see with my own eyes and feel in my heart. Taking things at face value and seeing the best of people from interaction and not speculation.

It's funny that way, isn't it? Thanks for reading!
Yes, I think it speaks to the strength of the poem. Plays really well with perspective... and how we are all the same in a way.
Very perceptive. We really are more alike than we are different. I hope both sides can eventually find a middle ground again.
