The Future of Purple

A Poem by Roz Liberman

Red or blue, brown or white

Let’s agree to stop the fight;

Dreams of peace propel us all

to find success before we fall


Create a future for kids to rise

Don’t let our pride cause their demise;

All our views have many sides

Our differences need not cause divides.


In times past, agreement was sought

Instead of battling, disdain was fought;

Calling names, refusing to yield

Will never become a protective shield.


Talking with truth, respect, and heart

We share more than what pulls us apart;

If only we could erase the line

Working together is not a crime.


Why do we thrive on division and hate?

This is not meant to be our fate;

Put away the gloves and open your heart

To create a new future and do your part.


I watch my grandchildren with dreams so strong

By showing them peace, we can’t go wrong;

Our stubborn stands have failed thus far

Now, let them soar to the highest star!


It’s not so hard to listen and share

Open our minds and work to be fair;

No way is wrong or another all right

Let’s join in the middle to win this fight.


We can create peace and joy some way

Step one is to commit to change today;

Make red and blue mean so much more

By merging as purple in 2024!


Love you all!
