Rethink

Our American culture adores drama and fights.
We cause trauma for others when we spit out uniformed opinions in spite.
All respect for humanity is lost in the heat of self conviction.
Why do we ignore the cost of taking pride in this friction?
We let our first world problems slide in-front of the worst injustices of all.
My news-feed is submersed in complaints and pointless rants.
That's not what we need, our priorities are full of tangled up knots.
So I plead with you, untangle those thoughts and connect the dots.
Look in the mirror and see how you really appear to the world around you.
Then take your conviction and use it to prevent real life affliction.
