If We Disagree

If we should disagree Why must we disagree with hate If you like red and I like blue Is fighting then to be our fate When called upon to love our land Does blood not run in wounded hearts No matter who we choose to love No matter color of our parts So you were born a country boy And I know not how cowboy’s play Does that mean we can’t coexist That we should not both have a say For change will always take the reins And none much like just what may come So certainly we should be fair In weaving hope for all, not some And, if we should disagree Why can’t we disagree with love If not, our world may go away Can we not think, then rise above

I do hope it will end. I choose love myself, Mike. I'm faving, you have said in more of ways to choose to love not to hate. Why with hate? I often wonder, Mike. It's truly a shame, and shame on all who do hate, as it is infectious. The cries and screams for a stronger, meaner, fight back attitude is in the works, as you can see, they'll scream for more! TY for spreading love not hate. hugsxo~Anaya

Diversity should not be an excuse for hate. Let's agree to disagree. Great poem, great advise.

Last line: "Can we not think...we're on the brink". Stellar piece, Mike. Evocative. :o))

Good poetic admonition Mike. Why hate? Even here some spew hatred toward another. Recently Eileen and I had a disagreement on my post Dark Underbelly, but in the end we got actually closer rather than otherwise. But of course, this is taking place in many circles around the globe. So sad
