To those American friends of mine who are at both extreme ends of the current crisis
Your nation has become socially divided.
who’s right;
who’s wrong.
does it make sense to attest?
which’s true;
which’s fake.
do you gain anything to prove?
you may have a good sight;
yet others still don’t see it.
you could have a valid point
but others don’t condone it.
the more you talk,
the less your words get through.
the harder you blame,
the further you drive them away.
how could it be possible for any fruitful dialogue?
Your nation has become politically divided.
who’s on the right;
who’s on the left.
does it really matter?
everyone goes to the extreme
at the two opposite ends,
oh politics,
far
apart
from each other,
as remote as the distance between heaven and hell.
what’s the rational way to bridge the dogmatic gap?
“freedom of expression”
doesn’t
allow anyone
to pointing a gun at others
and order them to submit.
alas, why have you kept playing the nasty game of tyranny?
Your nation has become racially divided?
who’s black,
who’s white,
who’s red,
who’s yellow.
the fact cannot be changed.
a human being was born with it.
why keep blaming each other
based
on
skin color
and cultural heritage.
wouldn’t it be nice to have enough air for your breath?
it certainly makes a huge difference for everyone
you’d better take
“your knee
off
someone else’s neck”?
whether it has been done
deliberately or inadvertently.
systemic racism was the horrible past
modern human no longer tolerates
discrimination
under
any form.
Your nation has become absolutely divided
she’s fully infested with unrests, riots, protests…
wouldn’t it be better
for her leadership
and her citizens
to take a break,
relax,
let your hearts be less emotional,
and wait ‘til your minds become more rational?
Don't you wanna unite your divided nation
and make her great
again?
Wouldn’t any peaceful solution be better
than your current aggressive way
of continuously
pouring more gasoline
into the raging wildfire?
