Make America Good Again!

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: July 20, 2024

What our country needs is a return to good old fashion values…

“Make America good again!”
Great would be nice,
but good is what’s needed now!

We are a divided country
where kindness is trumped by hate,
where decency is undermined by disrespect
and where what is true
is often overshadowed by what is not.

Those on the right
and those on the left
would do well
to center their hopes and dreams
on a future where the
freedom to hold differing opinions
matters more than
legislating our own.
Where agreeing to disagree
is viewed as a strength
not as a weakness
and where unity in the midst of diversity
is valued more than unanimity.

That would indeed
make America good again.
