Honestly, from the bottom of my soul:
I don’t care if you call it left or right.
I don’t want children in Gaza to die.
I don’t want children in Ukraine to die.
I don’t want people forced to leave home,
cross oceans,
and end up doing desperate things just to survive.
And I don’t want the people who were born in peaceful towns
to lose the peace they grew up with.
I just want a world where kids can grow old.
Where families can eat dinner together.
Where dads can yell at the TV during an NFL game.
Where moms can buy way too much at Costco.
Where neighbors argue about barbecue, gas prices, and basketball.
A boring, ordinary, safe life.
That should not be a political dream.
That should be the minimum we ask of Earth.
