is that a shadow...mine?

let us hold a conversation, you and i, and hopefully sanity shall prevail
each other in our political beliefs to convince, i can see to no avail.

i shall have the courage to say it as it is, no matter the shock on your face
and therefore, a forewarning, in my honesty i shall not be kind thus yourself do brace.

why is it that we know to be opinionated and full of advise
yet to listen to another we have no patience and their word to pieces dice.

heaven forbid another does not toe the line
and show us up our stupid shortsightedness the crime.

then best to mow that person down discredit them and quickly shut them up
in case another hears and likes whats said and begins to sip from the same cup.

what may have been right a decade ago may not pass today
the passing of time new circumstance, new evils, now needed to be kept at bay.

how stagnant and stupid humans can be in their fear of change setting in
fighting tooth and nail for the old to stay and the new never to win.

why is it that humans are scared of those pioneering in thought
allowing themselves in the grip of the narrow minded to be trapped and caught.

the freedom of choice the will to keep the faith of hope alive
through all the global atrocities and maiming of humanity to survive.

and thus my ears selective of hearing as my eyes of seeing
the road forward to be part of the pioneering of political corruption others weaning.

but ...wait... what is this that i see...is that a shadow ...mine
and this conversation that i have been having... with myself...all this time?

of course i should have known better for who cares world politics to fix
corrupt disruption and fear for those in power to promote be their mix.

and like fools we fall within the trap they lay for us
whispering in corners of conspiracies and among each other we cuss.

so i think  my shadow be my best friend by the hand i will take
and together she and i the pilgrimage for world peace will make.
