Some have said that we should get along
Smile in acquiescence to their rants
Give their vain ideologues a chance
After all, we lost and their side won.
But every backward step just feels wrong,
Spinning truth alternatives advance;
Some have said that we should get along
Smile in acquiescence to their rants.
Loyalty is tested to belong
We must follow like blind sycophants
Any soul who dares a counter-stance
Faces rage, as battle lines are drawn
Some have said that we should get along.

This is excellent Kat and I agree with every word. We had, have it still a similar situation with Brexit!

On second thought I do believe you’re right. I have penned a few Rondels. Like you I love the repeating lines. 😊
