Left, Right, me

March 20, 2017

when everyone is Right or Left

there is no straight path

they leave no option

for what is Good

 

when everyone is Right or Left

someone is WRONG

actions based on platforms

not actions based on People

 

when everyone is Right or Left

there is no converging

there is no meeting point

no common ground

 

but so few are just Right or Left

many are zig-zags

or arcs

or scribbles

 

they can Speak

they can Agree or Disagree

they can Listen

but they don't

 

and so the nation of zig-zags

and arcs

and scribbles

is left to be led down a path

they were never meant to follow
