Why do I have to have a label?

Democrat or Republican?

Blue or Red?

Why can’t I just believe in –

being kind

providing justice for all

giving everyone a  chance

ending all war – what did fighting ever fix – some get rich while others die

moving forward when it makes sense

being kind

empathizing with one another

changing when necessary

revising when  beneficial

being kind

helping others when you can

recognizing the talents of women

And, never ever thinking you’re better than someone else.

Nothing positive comes of thinking you’re superior to another –

that’s where most troubles begin.

Why oh why do I have to be labeled?
