Divided We Fall

Born into this world naked and crying
We have no differences, all are the same.
Why do we change, therefore denying,
The difference remaining is just but a name.

Religion, gender, color, creed
Shape our adulthood, defining our ways.
Recognizing what we truly need
Will improve the world and improve all our days.

Go back, in mind, to where we began.
Just faith in parents and God, did it all.
The cliché you will then understand,
United we stand, divided we fall.
