right would see a lot more non-white faces.

Left would have to hold those MAGA signs,

right be pepper sprayed in protest lines.

Left would say the cops have got our backs.

Right would say they only arrest blacks.

Left would say they’ll give up guns when dead,

right urge they use smaller ones instead.

What we need perhaps is a new middle,

folks sick of the emperor’s gold fiddle,

who back equal pay and education,

health insurance and a kinder nation.

As things are the two sides will keep bashing,

a highway with no lines where cars keep crashing.

A party based upon our common ground

might quell the furor, keep the earth around.
