Two-UnParties

And crossing the Delaware
for this?
For naught?
For internet fights
with spiteful words
and caustic 
updates.

For his words,
don't you dare
get divided, America.
Don't make yourselves
factions,
don't breed ignorance.

And Washington,
I am sorry
to write,
we are two bodies,
twins with contempt
for one another. 

There are losers
and winners,
never should have been-
divided by a carpeted
aisle. 
The thin ice,
thin line and I want
to reach across
and shake hands.

Sorry, Hamilton,
Madison.
Sorry Franklin.

"Party" it is no longer,
no balloons and confetti,
just sore losers
and lies on the televisions.

Colors like
gang affiliations,
Do I flash my
party name
and get killed
with word fights?
