A Divided Nation
Confined in one boundary, living together
showing different reactions in changing weather.
Stabbing each other, hoping to reach same destiny
creating a stumbling block as the way, what an Irony.
Loving outsiders in possession of a different gene
to the point patriotism withers and becomes lean.
It is time for one side to enjoy the rain
then the other sits and curses in envious pain.
Hatred and marginalization then becomes the trendy skill
compressing the mind, even to the point to kill.
Nepotism and bigotry are fertilized to cause so much evil
interaction between distant compatriots liable to be far from civil.
One nation, one people, if this family can together not see
then for humanity sake, let everyone simply be.
Separation entices, building up the end
enemies of each other, yet can attempt a mend.
Seeing through the binoculars of what lies tomorrow
love, patience and unity, there’s a need to borrow.
Diversity is a blessing, like departments of a college
one can function as the nutrient, the others as the roughage.
