poem | division

the inevitable division of humans
is not always born out of greed or hate, 
it is a slow differing of opinion, 
that spreads from state to state. 

and those with no willpower
follow blindly the other's lead, 
without ever pausing to wonder 
if the division is something we need. 

wouldn't it be better to stand together, 
as one nation, one planet, one world, 
so together we can break through the barriers, 
of the limits we used to let hold. 

why don't we shower this world with compassion, 
instead of plastic and guns and hate, 
and remember that as living people, 
division is not something we need to make.
