Republicans and Democrats


Dear,

US Citizens

Republicans and Democrats

Why the separation?

Why the fight for being in front and being in power?

 

Are we not trying to come to a consensus?

Are we not all trying to make “America Great Again”

 

We are all in this together

We are all united

We are one country

One people

With a similar goal

 

We all want better

That is what we aim for

For the happiness and fair life of all

 

This world is filled with…

Iniquity

Vanity

Popularity

Anger

And vain ambitions

 

But there is also…

Happiness

Fairness

Peace

Love

Equality

And harmony

 

We wish so much to get to one place

Yet we have divided ourselves into two

We have decided to turn away from each other

Instead of looking for the good in each other

 

We fight for one cause

Yet we can’t seem to find that cause

 

I speak for those who can’t

Those that wish not to, for fear of public scrutiny

 

Someone once said, “Two is better than one”

And I don’t think they were referring to two divided

But to two combined forces

 

We are a great country who can only become better

It is our duty

Our right

And should be our desire to do so

 

America has become that arrogant child

Which every good mother would give a good spank

But for a country...

That spank, entails war

 

We don’t want tyranny

We want peace

 

We don’t want hatred

We want love

 

You only know you missed out on something,

when you see it slip out of your hands

 

This country is ours

This government too

 

I want it to work out

How about you?

 

Sincerely,

Mario Castellanos
