THE AMERICAN WAY

On one of the news shows
A columnist said she’d heard
A statement from an eight year old
With some of those wisdom words.

She was asked what she’d say
To those, at each other’s throat
"Why don’t you quit your fighting?
She said, "And just get out and Vote!"

And after all these battles
That lead to Election Day
All of us must work together
Cause that’s the American way.

LOL, you know what they say about the mouths of babes. Sometimes we really should just listen to the children.
Thanks, Abe.

I don't vote and I don't fight.

It's a thought-provoking write though.
