The Fault Limit
There’s a hair line crack in the human chain,
causing some to reap, while others pain.
Widening a fraction broader every day,
it strains till all forms of kindness give way .
A fault line deep in the earthly heart,
is the dark divide that keeps us far apart.
A hand's against a hand in everyplace,
with mass genocide of someone's race.
Where does the source of this fault really lie?
Is it in ourselves? Is it in the skies?
Sooner or later the mind will quake,
as the crack is stressed by the lava, hate.
