the right and the left

my friend and his wife

are radical

left.  free money for

everyone.

another friend leans

right.  guns and more guns,

it's their

God given right.

it's a mess.

to riot or not to riot

that is the question.

march and scream and holler,

set fire

to the world,

but who's at home walking

the dog

watering the plants?

we'll leave this country

and go

live somewhere else,

they claim. but after the votes

are counted,

they're all still here.

standing in line

to once again voice their

uncompromising opinions

and complain.
