(A poem about the deep political divide in Washington and beyond. The 5-3-5 refers to the 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate. Without a return to God, there is no reason to expect unity or any hope for this nation’s future.)

_________



The halls were filled

With pomp and pride

Two forces ruled

Each from their side



These 5-3-5

Such deep divide

As Red and Blue

Defined their stride



The Red marched here

The Blue o’er there

But never did paths

Combine to share



While each of them

Embraced their own

The White was gone

It seemed alone.



The Red or Blue

Gave them their pride

They ignored the White

As if it'd died



The 5-3-5

Had lost their way

The battle surged

Near every day



The battle fought

Was all that mattered

The house divided

The flag was tattered



It all seemed lost

As tempers flared

And lines were drawn

No lies were spared



While Truth may stumble

And Purity fall

Their color is White

And they call to all:



“Return to us

Make us your guide

Reject the calls

To feud and fight”



But will the Red

And Blue alike

Restore their house

And take heed to White?



When Truth and Purity

Do guide our hearts

It’s then Ol’ Glory

Won’t be torn apart.





“Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed.





A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.” ??Matthew? ?12:25?“I am the Truth...” JesusFootnote:The colors of the American flag represent:Red: Hardiness and ValorBlue: Vigilance, Perseverance & JusticeWhite: Purity and InnocenceLive Free!Mark West
