A Nation Divided

We no longer need
The Russians and the Chinese
To be our enemies  
When there's you and me

Like water and oil
This mixture will take its toll
On both the young and old
Poured out on our American soil

This spewing of hate
We've had as of late
No progress is made
Nor strong foundation laid 

If no purpose other 
Than the need to come together 
And love one another 
Brother to Brother

We know this because
A divided nation will fall
With nothing left after all
Will you heed the call

Love your poem because it is so true about our country today, unfortunately. God forbid we do have another civil war, that would be awful…and the end of this once great country as we know it! (Martial Law, etc., etc.)...
