Commonality

Sir

We differ in our opinions

Have divergent views

I say black

You say white

Yet in all you say

Nay

All we say

We share common ground

For hope underlies our vast differences

We both desire a better world

Neither of us chooses its destruction 

We want the same outcome

But likely no best solution exists

Dozens of paths lead to the same destination

Is one more right than the other?

Possibly

Or perchance many welcome approaches move side by side

Yours

Mine

His

Hers

Theirs

Ours

Lots of twists to the same tale

Everyone owns a truth

And as luck would have it

We each speak it

Unsullied 

Without fear

We move forward

Toward our shared goal of common good
