Divided We Fall
It’s not about a flag,
Or even about race.
It’s not about being offended
Or being slapped in the face.
It’s not about a gun
Or a symbol we should ban.
It’s not about who won
Or even the opinions of man.
It’s about hate and it’s about greed.
It’s about corruption and lies.
It’s about want in spite of need.
It’s about control instead of compromise.
It’s about hiding the facts.
It’s about blinding distractions.
It’s about covering their tracks.
It’s about concealing our reactions.
It’s about feelings we can’t show.
It’s about being one-sided.
It’s about things we don’t know.
And it’s keeping us divided.
