A Happier Tune

 I figured I am past due

For a happier tune

Something to lift the moods.

Something like the notes

in this coffee, salt water taffy

or whatever wishy-washy thing

that gets your serotonin pumping.

I can find many beautiful things 

In my everyday surroundings.

And if you were unaware

Please let me share

That this practice is key

To that whole "being present" thing.

Being happy has nothing 

to do with a ring

or finding your "Queen" or "King"

It's about finding things 

that you admire in absolutely 

everything.

A prime example would be

A Trump supporter I met

very recently.

I will admit that 

I was initially wary

The media having painted

him as some scary white man 

who wouldn't hesitate 

To bury my gay ass

In the cold hard ground.

But instead I found

Someone with whom

I can agree to disagree

He lets me pick his brain freely.

What he lacks in fight

he makes up in sheer passion.

And you know what?

I admire the hell out

of his brazen fashion.

So please retire

this idea that to disagree

Means you've made a new enemy.

Not necessarily that you've made 

a new best friend...

But just remember we're

all just humans in the end.
