Agree to Disagree
Can you imagine
a world where
Galileo says to the church,
"Yes, you're right
the sun does revolve around the Earth"
and Rosa Parks does not fight
when told to sit in the back of the bus?
I certainly can't imagine
a world where we cannot discuss
different ideas, different perspectives.
Without freedom of speech
we would not have heard Martin Luther King Jr. preach
we would not have progressed so much today
if we all agreed,
"Yes, you're right
the sun does revolve around the Earth."
No,
it does not.
