Nexus

In our quest for common ground
Differences are often found
Too much to bear or overcome
Til all negotiation fails.

Like Montague to Capulet
The nexus was sweet Juliet,
Or at least she should have been
If better winds had filled her sails.

All can end so tragically
When clans or nations disagree.
Words and actions fail to grasp
The gist of commonality.

Warped opinion often lies,
Views the world with blinded eyes,
Leading lemmings to the edge
Where hope and reason all but dies.

It is you and you alone
Must solve this bitter mystery.
See the nexus. Find the link
Connecting destiny.
