“They” are back.
Talking their ugly talk, spitting their hateful hate.
againandagainandagainandagain
Reminding, poking, advising, SHOUTING 
that yes indeed, we are divided.
Very, VERY divided.

“They” continually feel the need to inform, I need to be afraid.
Of you, of her, of the man down the street, the gal on the bus.
Of LIFE.
Oh, and  Don’t. Trust. Anyone.
Be angry, be panicked, be mad.
Well, “They”, I have to agree with you.
These United States of America have seen better days.
We are torn in many, many ways
& it’s painfully sad.
Incredibly heartbreaking.
But, here’s where you and I part ways “They”.
You thrive on hate
& I absolutely refuse to go where your hate leads.
I’m committed, “They”.
To TRUST and HOPE and FAITH
& no matter what you say or how you disguise it, I will never believe you
& I will never, ever follow.
Have you ever thought about changing your ways, “They” ?
Even for a day ?
If not, maybe you should give it a try.
Please.
Just TRY. 

Say Hello to your neighbor.
Smile at that stranger.
Offer a helping hand.
Be kind.
Be happy.
Release that awful anchor from your world for just one day “They” and you will see this Earth we share in a brand new, awesome light.

It’s called LOVE, “They”
& it’s beautiful.
It’s united
& it can be us.
If given one, simple, teeny tiny chance.
I promised you, “They”
Love can, Love WILL be US.
🙂
