When our thoughtfulness 

becomes reactivity.

When our prayers become a fight.

We reach for fuel for anger.

And fail to see the light.

We justify our positions.

Fair treatment for ourselves.

We fail to see the real debate.

They are not wrong, 

and we are not right.

What happened to our willingness.

To understand the Truth.

Our humanity defines us. 

Our universal plight.

We lift our eyes beyond ourselves.

To see another person.

You had it wrong; you were not good.

Constrained by views of life.
