Said the one to the other ?We are apart but not yet defeeted?
Said the other to the one ?I would hate to be in your shoes?
Said the other to the other. ?Let?s get off our high horses, resolve our differences, move forward, and walk in the way of righteousness?
Said the left one to oneself ?Was going to say left-sidedness rather than righteousness, for the sake of my pride, and my tribe, but decided to let it go?
Said the one to the other ?It is better if we walk together ? otherwise we will only be able to hop with no hope?
Said the one to the one ?Let?s pursue One and we will find our souls?
And they found their soles and walked into the sunset, foot after foot, hand in hand and lived happily ever after.
