Why? Sometimes it is hard to go deeper than that. I did a wishlist on Friday night and by Saturday night, all I could think of was how hopeless things are in a country evenly divided and easily swayed by small well funded factions. Both sides are growing farther apart with each carefully orchestrated confrontation.

Most of us don’t want trouble.

Most of us don’t want to hurt anyone.

I have noticed that far too often the many are led by the few, but the sacrifice is always paid by the many, while the benefits are always collected by the few. This will never change.

So I have my own wishlist on this Sunday afternoon.

My Wishlist

I wish we were a people, that loved each other more

and that we stood with open arms, not locked behind a door.

A door of thought and certainty, that truth is on our side

with little chance to understand, that truth will never hide.

I wish that we could find a way, to see the heart of men

so we would never fall for lies, they trap us with again.

and if our hearts were open wide, and if yours were open too

we might come together then, and love just might shine through.
