Why is yes so often hard to come by
In this troubled
world?
In the midst of
black and white
So much gray gets
in the way
As firm debate
from side to side
Sees many a fickle
flag unfurled
With flimsy facts
that grow in stacks
But feebly flounce
on feet of clay.
Could not, would
not, will not stand
This toe-to-toe
embattlement.
Needs and wants
abound aplenty
Calling out from
every point
As all stand firmly
in the right and
I defer to fold my
tent
Til common cause
and common sense
Unite to purposes
conjoint.
Tit-for-tat on
this or that
Tried and true
that stands the test.
Angst and
arguments abound
Struggling to get
to yes.
