Brother and Sister

United by blood, divided by hate.
Our forefathers fought for our independence,
Yet we are tearing ourselves apart, 
For what reason?

Selfish leaders inciting hate amongst us,
The tears of a dead man will hunt you,
The conversation of our ancestors will guide you, 
What's painful?
Losing to an opponent whose not an enemy?
Or losing children, mothers and fathers?

The youth , who are the leaders of tomorrow?
An old man whose blind has  the sight for hope,
Yet the younger generation are lead to ruins,

May God be with us, for He is for us,
Don't let religion divide us,
United by blood, divided by hate,
What would your choice be?
