Division Bells

Division Bells

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(there are always two sides to every story)

"
while confrontation and contempt
make futile bridges that's for sure
cement on stone builds by the day
tall walls are thickened with manure
division screams across the miles
away those smiling faces now
it's blistered hearts and tears that smart
when love is all but torn apart

Hello, Christine! :)
Reading your feelings here, gets me wondering what we can do to solve our problems, and what the root issues are. When I listen to the national news after dinner, everyone seems passionate and argumentative. What really disgusts me are the opinion shows; which air on news channels, but are essentially political propaganda. People rally behind bizarre causes, seemingly always ready to fight for them. Maybe they're all fighting for the same cause, just not communicating it well. Haha

Good one Chris.

God, those bells are loud...
and I think I have stepped in that manure once too often and need new love shoes.
But their side is just as legitimate...takes two to quit dancing by that wall, or two to climb over it together.
