Civility is Lost

I miss conversation
There was a time when
opposite view points could be civil.
Passion was from the heart,
not regurgitated talking points
and recycled emotion.
Disagreement didn't mean
the other was evil incarnate.
I'm tired of words being twisted
to fit a narrative.
I'm tired of OUTRAGE
and stomping feet
and the refusal to LISTEN.
Feel free to disagree.
But first Clarify
 to be sure what you hear
is what was meant.
Then explain where your opinions differ
and look for common ground.
In the end you can agree
to disagree...
without HATE.
