Keep Us Divided

if we hate each other because we have different colored skin they will keep us divided if we hate each other because of our different origins they will keep us divided if we hate each other because of our different creeds (or disbelief in any) they will keep us divided if we hate each other because we want what they are selling, and there’s not enough to go around they will keep us divided if we hate each other because our accents are different they will keep us divided if we hate each other because we have different sexual preferences they will keep us divided if we hate each other because of lifestyle choices (drugs, alcohol, etc.) they will keep us divided if we hate each other because of our political beliefs they will keep us divided if we hate each other because we have different hopes & dreams they will keep us divided. for when we are divided we are weak & when we are weak they continue to grow stronger.

I like the ambiguity of the anonymous 'they', nice reminder that hate gains us nothing. Interesting read.
