Politics, like everything else
Digging in your heels
Only exacerbates the problem
Creating over defensiveness, rigidity and stupidity
What if people who opposed a politician’s policies
Had compassion, instead of condemnation?
For example, a wall
In a dark and not so fun house of mirrors
We would see the correlation
From both sides of the mirror
At least metaphorically speaking
For one, the one proposing it
Obviously wants to be “walled” in
Protected, from “what” we do not know
The other reflection of those opposed
Only represents the need to take
Down, their own “walls”
At least from the perspective
Of an “air ride seat psychologist”
Not only do I need to tear down a wall
Must needs to dismantle the
Artificial dome of isolation
Protecting the world
Of me, from me
“When you change the way you look at things
The thing you look at changes.”
– Dr. Wayne Dyer
