Let's Meet in the Middle (November Poem-A-Day: Day 6)

Here’s Walt’s prompt (a Two-for-Tuesday prompt) which is actually two prompts:

1.  Write a Left Poem.

2. Write a Right Poem.

Umm… With today being Election Day in the States, there are, of course, political implications to Walt’s prompt. If you go that route, please be respectful of conflicting views (it’s about the poetry, not the politics, on this blog). If you decide to go the directional route, then be respectful of people with two left feet or who are always right, especially people who are always right who happen to have two left feet.

Let's Meet in the Middle

It's not a time to question

or a time to fight

it's not about being

on the left or on the right

Let’s not forget the meaning

of the “U” in USA

about being united

and not so far divided

It's not about finger pointing

or calling each other names

about the hate and the lies

and those silly political games

It's about getting a job done

the best that one can

about us all working together

and following the master plan

Despite the fact

that you might be

on the right or on the left

or somewhere in between

Despite your view

for the one or the other

let's meet in the middle

let's support one another.
