Americans All

A country divided Depressing but true Leadership wanting By both Red and Blue. Faction's aplenty Each shouting loud The noise overwhelming Fomenting the crowd. Cities in uproar Police under siege Anarchists aiming Our culture to breach. The media ecstatic With words to inflame No boundaries or morals As if playing a game. Yet above all this din A message breaks through The need to treat others As you'd like them treat you. Neither color nor creed Must poison our soul Our aim be just one To make our world whole. Different indeed In more ways than one But Americans all A freedom hard won.
