we’re all on the same side

Linda M. Crate

you add nothing to the conversation,
all you care about is controlling the lives
of other people;

maybe worry more about your own life—

they’re going to start going after other rights next,
and they don’t care who they’re going to hurt;

i am so irritated we have let it get this far—

how can so many people still be sleeping?
wake up! wake up! wake up!
it is long past time to open up your eyes and realize
that blind patriotism and nationalism isn’t
going to save you,

and it is fine for you to have your religion but is not
fine for you to make laws or expect laws to based on it;
you’re not persecuted when someone holds you accountability
nor are you oppressed—

when will you realize we’re all on the same side?

they don’t care about me, they don’t care about you;
all they care about is money and satisfying the tongues of
their greeds and everything they lust for.
