The Donkey and the Elephant
Posted: October 7, 2012
Can we hear what each is saying?…
The donkey and the elephant
have started to debate.
But we have trouble hearing them
because of deafening hate.
The donkey has his followers.
The elephant does too,
dividing our United States
into ones of red and blue.
Perhaps if we unstopped our ears
and opened up our minds
we'd see that both these candidates
aren't really deaf and blind.
The blue and red of compromise
make purple when they're mixed.
The hue of mountain's majesty
is what we most need next!
