A Country Divided

December 16, 2013

A compromise?!?!
No way. In our country, the epoch of democracy. A compromise. No way.
Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party, Green Party, Blue Party, Purple Party,
These parties, the necessary sand in our gears, the necessary evil in our government.
The sand that propels our virtues against all.
A compromise from them? Unheard of.
How must we push forward when a compromise is a rarity.
How will our Country move forward.
Parties create compromises, yet prohibit them.
But when the enmity is obvious, and talking is only on the news stations
How will WE push forward as a country, a people, a nation
All we need is a compromise, to make a compromise.
