The Political War (according to me) (Other) by MrsGretchen
A summit;
Everyone laughs and jokes
as they enjoy the midday meal
One head of state says
apples are the best
fruit on earth
another disagrees
figs are the best fruit
a friendly debate
ensues
soon the debates become
heated
one group yells
apples
the other yells
figs
Both sides rejoin
the summit
no longer on
friendly terms
they begin
to make snide
remarks
offense is taken
reporters all over the world
have a field day
such and such
insulted such and such
war is declared
many die on all sides
before the politicians
give up their stubborn stance
then the appple lover eats a fig
the fig lover eats an apple
and
peace is declared
again
