We are so divided that other people seem to face
An alternate reality from us in the same physical space
We do not understand their point of view at all
Nor do they comprehend ours, we hit a wall
Talking about everyday lives, even in a conversation mundane
From running into diametrically opposite viewpoints we cannot refrain
*
In what world do we live where the same facts appear
To have opposite contexts, we retreat into discomfort and fear
When conversations contentious tones acquire
Making small talk utmost caution requires
*
There has to be common ground we can find
We must be able to communicate with an open mind
Be ready to acknowledge that what we believe
To be the reality is not completely true, while what the other side perceives
Is not completely false either, the truth lies somewhere
In the middle, but we have drifted too far on one side to be aware…
Passion...unbridled
