The Politics of You
By Michael Charles Messineo

Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals. You vote on your own principles of your upbringing. Your beliefs fuel your anger when opposed. You are the result of hand-me-down family philosophy. Politics is like religion… we each have our beliefs, I respect your beliefs, just don’t force them on me.

 

Beware of beliefs that come with a price.

Pushing agendas on people who fight.

A yin-yang look at both sides now,

wondering why, then wondering how.

 

Good and bad, with right and wrong

can lead to notes of a different song.

Both sides of the mirror reflect a truth,

while one is good spirited, the other uncouth. 

 

The balance of life; the light and the dark

can lead to shadows or sustain a faint spark.

Opposing opinions, your ideals etched in stone.

If you’ve been brainwashed, you’re not alone.

 

What you have learned, may not be so good

if others debate you on all that they could.

Changing their principles is a fight never ending.

Generational upbringing has soured the mending.

 

It’s complicated to change the person you are.

You have been molded, and influenced far

beyond what is required, to live a full life

but national agreement will never see light.
