I wish at times

I didn’t feel the need

I’m sure some others

Would say, “yes indeed”

Creating poems about

Love and resistance

The inspiration comes

With a little persistence

Time to spread

The love light widely

But also push back

At behaviors unsightly

In the end hopefully

Compassion and love will win out

Diminishing the need

For each side to shout

Collaborative cooperation

Listening to the other

Compromise for solutions

Might just save our Mother

Be inspired, help others

Of every stripe

Diminish the anxiety, the arguments,

The gripes

Coming together

In the name of community

Keeps us from divisiveness

Gives us immunity
