The Ship of Bipartisan

Down there at the dock,
You’ll see a tall wooden ship
It holds two parties platforms,
hundred years without a slip.

They say they can’t see eye to eye
or agree on the basic facts.
But they would surely come together
if anyone was attacked.

It be something about biotech,
Of a widespread cellphone breach,
Could be a technology no one controls,
or oil on a public beach.

If we see the problem together,
though our visions may be set,
the parties will pass the needed rule
to stop the common threat.

Can we all extend a handshake,
when the right leader calls out loud?
Behind the three mast tall ship,
the founders would be proud.

It is a very important topic.
And when I refer to
bipartisanship -
it's more than just a compromise,
It is really more like teamwork. It is really
an effort in the long term.
We have to be able to see
beyond the day to day.

As James Longstreet said -
today is a present,
yesterday's gone,
the reward of tomorrow,
is where our hearts belong.
