Political Average
The Average American is not far right or far left yet understand
a polarized view grips American media, as politicians demand.
In the midst of this intense divide,
More than half of us in balance abide.
We lean but slightly, either left or right.
Yet the slightest lean and it’s a fight.
The clash of views, a hint of disagreement that either hears
Makes every comment a battle to the death because of fears.
If left-leaning thoughts are voiced, beware the name—
“Socialist” is the slur, it’s a flag-burning flame!
And if the right voice opinions, the labels sting—
“Radical”, and “fascist” are the harsh words they fling.
Those who scream “idiot”, though loud, are not the norm,
For most of us, the center holds its form.
Yes, extremes exist, yet you should not cast a glare,
for the majority is more so in agreement than the media will share.
Political propaganda ignites the fight with zeal,
But using common sense Americans stand as real.
We are those who disagree, yet in the middle stay,
who cherish differing thoughts without dismay.
In our hearts, we hold a simple truth refined,
that love for our country unites the American mind.
