Alienation
What is this lust for blood in debate,
this need for vile retribution,
love for self, and not for man?
Differences be damned.
Brotherhood is key.
That we should think
otherwise
makes no
sense.
This nonet is my response to
Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday
#Poetry Challenge No. 123 #Synonyms Only,
using sense and lust for meaning and passion.

Brotherhood doesn’t make fortunes though. I wish more people thought like you do.

So true, Ken, and well said.
I was listening to an interview on NPR a few days ago (I missed who it was), but he pointed out that the majority of the people in the U.S. do not agree with the current GOP agenda. To know that the policies being enforced now are minority positions is both scary and comforting to me.
