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.
