AVOID THE TSUNAMI

I am not a prophet, and not very wise,
But I stand in assurance as I’m led to advise
That a nation divided will surely fall,
Or give up division, for the sake of us all.

Terrible hurricanes have ravished our shores,
But they are minimal to storms at our doors;
Broken nations don’t break by storm,
But rather division, which becomes the norm.

I applaud discussion of world-wide events,
But partisan division makes a nation too tense
To work as a union in brotherhood
To establish in love that which is good.

Let us look for the best either party suggests,
Forgetting election as we meet the tests
That life imposes like hurricane winds
Lest the quake of division bring tsunami ends.
