💔"When American Hearts Stop"💔
When American hearts stop, the country stands still;
But only for a moment, then we fire at will.
The Left blames the Right, & the Right blames the Left;
As our thoughts focus on politics, not the dead and bereft.

We turn to our tribes, and we rattle our sabers;
Crying out against hate, while vilifying our neighbors.
But hate has no party, no race, and no team;
Nor has evil a sole claim to the Left or Right Wing.

The blame is not with Americans exercising their right;
Nor with those wanting legislation to help in the fight.
It’s with flawed human beings - souls lost and corrupted;
Whose chaos brings tragedy - innocent lives interrupted.

But we’ll exacerbate the problem & our cultural divide;
Unless we all come together, instead of picking a “side.”
For no matter their class, their color, their creed;
When American hearts stop, 300 million hearts bleed.

-Dedicated to families affected by recent tragedies-
