Both Sides Are the Same | Robert Pickering
both sides are the same
what a gigantic falsity
even a simple examination
proves that there are huge differences
one side wants to help the poor
the other says the poor are deviants
one side wants to impose their religion
the other opposes forcing people to worship
one side wants to give the rich all the money
the other side thinks we can all pay our fair share
one side sees a world of isolation, fear and war
the other values diplomacy and relationships
one side is authoritarian
the other is collaborative
the two sides are not the same at all
it’s a huge disservice to say they are
yet every day the media vomits out noise
perpetuating this false equivalence
in the meantime
democracy dies
