No Between
By Ginger Hinson
Our Flag hears
The sighs of the time
Exasperation caused from
Misunderstanding, Speaking,
But not hearing pulsates
Through our country
Our flag cries
Our hearts harden before
A word is uttered . Afraid of
Empathy for the other side
Instead of united, we imagine
Villains slicing daggers at freedom
Our flag weeps
Opposite opinions become a
Sword, a scary scenario to be
Avoided. Must shut down, must
Not hear or try to understand.
Compromise is not an option
Our flag mourns
The atmosphere permeates
With either or, there is
No between, no solution.
If we rip the barriers,
Bear the pain, what then?
Our flag hopes
Could the murky veil lift?
Would we see neither side
Is fully right or have stone
Hearts? What joyful strides
If logic prevailed; hatred lost
