Stop, Words of Hate Destroy
Changing the Dialogue
Reading all the hate on both sides, gets old after awhile, so I wrote this...
Stop,
With all
The fighting
The empty words
The judgment
One political party
Attacking another
And then it leads
To one person attacking
Another!
Stop Words
Of hate Destroy
Not political parties
But the people
Some try to save.
Stop,
I don't care
If your conservative
Or liberal
Left or right
I'm not going
To blame
You for the
Failings of
Whatever political
Party you
Claim,
Honestly I don't
Care.
That's not who
You are at
The core.
Stop,
Each negative word, or hateful
comment that
Shifts blame
Is like a child
Playing a game
That can't be won
But the stakes are
High
When a person's
Very worth
Seems to be
Put on the line
At every turn.
Stop,
Words of hate
Destroy,
Be mindful of
What you say
Or as my parents
And Grandparents
Said when I
Was a little girl
If you can't think
Of anything nice to say
Say nothing at all.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I like the way you separate the strident arguement from the core of the person.
