Never-Ending StoryA Poem by Tinasha LaRayéAs I perused through my newsfeed on facebook during the debate - I found it was full, not of just different opinions - but ugly, hateful, spiteful behavior. I hate politics. that is all.Flipping worn pages in the book of American rights - Wrong is the binding that holds together this collection of text That etches bigotry, idolatry, and trick-onometry While educating reverse-camaraderie. The problem with our history Is that everyone is trying to make it HIS So busy burning books of competing ideas That you and I will never be on the same page As we cuss and kick and scream our way to the grave Hoping and praying Your side was the valiant white knight at the end of this storybook That saved the world Passion and caring your excuse for misbehaving Ignorance and stupidity your reasons for degrading Don’t you see ole Satan’s ratings going sky high? As the tones and fancy words fulfill their purpose as diversion From what’s really got us hurting… Commitment and conviction coated with hate Drawing bad guys good guys, division is fate Striving to save lives with all of this debating So busy politicking… We forgot to do the saving. © 2012 Tinasha LaRayé |
