Choices And Compromise

CHOICES AND COMPROMISE
ARC © Saturday 10/29/16 @ 10:00 A.M.


I was toddler in home touting Democrats;
Dad/Mom were FDR and Truman fans.
Education cultivated astute awareness;
Religion, Business, Politics…all had plans.

Each had agendas with rigid mandates;
basic underpinning: not for us than against.
Policies and beliefs were like boxing matches;
emotions passionate ala Civil War incensed.

I was young when I learned about WWII;
country divided between yes or no to war.
The evil danger was there for all to see;
but fear and division alienated country corps.

Division similar now tearing America apart;
yet compromised choice is simple answer for most.
which has demonstrated parity/love of neighbor best;
one affirming social policies is one that can boast.

I’m 75, well-educated, a devotee to public service;
Psychological and Political Astuteness is perceptive.
No matter what division, I am urging one/all;
Democratic Party is best prospect for equal respective.
