there's far too many folk
who try so hard to generalize
and paint with one broad stroke.
Part of our societal problem,
what's so fundamentally broke
is you try to create an answer
with the swipe of one broad stroke.
We cannot lump together issues
under a single collective cloak
and you cannot remedy anything
with the might of one broad stroke.
If we do not sit at a table
discuss what continues to make us choke
history's doomed to repeat itself
no matter the breadth of your one broad stroke.
Destroying everything in sight
is but a fire dangerously stoked
an ineffectual tantrum
blurred with this one broad stroke.
Inequalities exist
from this nightmare we must be woke
but a different band-aid of hate does not heal
it just muddies your one broad stroke.
We must get right down to the root
clean the grease from the wheel's spoke
create a positive course ... a fragile line
instead of your harmful one broad stroke.
