High Price of Hypocrisy

Posted on May 27, 2022 by Sue Santiago

One side says,
Protect the embryo
And the rights of the shooter

One side says,
All are welcome,
But not white Christians

One side says,
Ban books
Keeps guns

One side says,
Safeguard stories
Censor people

One side says
Love others, unless . . . 
Don't judge, except . . . 

When we lose 
The United in these States of America
The outcome is inevitable

Can there be room
For passion and peace
Uniqueness and unity?

Without the common ground,
Strongest in our overlap,
Divided we will be, deservedly fallen

It's a choice.

Of course. I was just going to leave it here. But I’ll put it on there, too. Thanks for the encouragement 💙
