Selfish Politics

People keep talking but actually say nothing
like robots spamming away in imaginary arenas.
Politics today is so partisan that it's disgusting
as pundits ravage each other like rabid hyenas.

The current climate feels so isolated, so selfish
as people fight for themselves rather than us all.
More compassion and love is this writer's wish
yet instead those fools just put up another wall.

The separation is obvious, more than ever before
as groups scowl and hiss at one another like snakes.
So why is finding common ground is such a chore
when true power comes from allies friendship makes.

A lasting peace is possible, but we must compromise
for when we become too egotistical, our dignity dies.
