Bridge the divide

Bridge the divide Red and blue, they want to separate you; you’ve got to be one or the other Since my birth, we’re killing the Earth; no one saw, too busy hating on one another Ignoring the science, MAGA-blind defiance; when it all burns down, tell me where will you hide? Petty differences expanded; covert actions heavy-handed; see what’s in front of you and bridge the divide Women have rights, minorities needn’t fear nights; gerrymandering the maps to quell the voices Keep ‘em on the ground, pay no attention to the sound; we’re all equal ain’t you heard, and we have choices We’ve come too far into sun, running out of places to run. Time has come to take a good look inside Despite what he ballyhoos, we share the same values; red, white, and blue, lets bridge the divide Who wins when warming grows, coastlines are flooded, everything goes; you can’t deny what’s in front of your eyes So how much of putting wealth ahead of need, protecting a criminal’s greed; does it take before you realize? Lady Liberty can’t look, even she wants to throw her book; people that pied piper is a practiced pariah It’s not the norm to be rude, use class to exclude; send him away to serve a sentence he’s no messiah Listen to what’s being said, don’t just vote blue or red; look past the cover every book has a story inside Quit hating on rainbows, your actions are where the shame goes; we are all brothers lets bridge the divide Rhetoric aside, folks, where do you stand? Cactus are frying in the desert sand; Maui’s burning, jump in the ocean Mark your calendars, incumbent or challengers; be sure and vote for our future and let’s put a plan in motion Use both your head and your heart, don’t let them drift too far apart; say I’m from the USA with pride! Let’s fix this mess, pray to your God to bless! That we can stand united and work together to bridge the divide Tim Windisch 08/09/2023
