Forget The Politics

Do we even remember
What this country
Was truly founded upon?
When liberty and justice
For all was more than
Just words in a pledge
Or lyrics in a song?
The division
How traumatic
How chaotic
It has become
A nation that
May have lost
Its identity
And its morals
Upon which democracy
Was born from
Democrat or Republican
Our opinions must
Be put aside
For there is only
A created division
Amongst us
We must stop picking sides
Join a new party
One that truly cares
Not about
Whether your skin tone
Is dark or fair
Or the clothes you wear
But rather
What matters most
Serving others
Being humble
Showing by example
That being human
Is something
We all undoubtedly
Share
Forget the politics
It’s time to finally reunite
In a country with so much hate
We have to choose love
Instead of being right
United
We most definitely do stand
Divided
We certainly shall fall
In this time of uncertainty
Us Americans must
Answer the call
The call to action
And to renew
Learning to
Let go of the past,
Forgive others,
Agree to disagree
And love
Unconditionally
To once again represent
The red white and blue
