Divide and Conquer

Started from King Macedon
Dividing and conquering people 
Come Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte
The tactic survived today
They created of nations from the states.

Sulu archipelago has been divided
Nationhood superseded statehood 
The statehood gone forever
The imagined nation comes to emerge
Made the archipelago comes to worst.

They claim to own a nation
While the name in the basic law is foul
The name comes during colonization
They have their own those times
Cannot they use their own name?
