Division Course

There’s more than one America and maybe more than two I’m sad because I’m thinking this and it seems it’s true The country that I thought I had the one I thought I saw was full of opportunity and thought to be for all But then, perhaps it never was Illusions pushed aside Yet, some want things to stay the same Some cannot abide Politics and poverty Wealth beyond belief A Civil War division course Where is the relief Manipulation fuels the hate Judgement quick to come This happens when our way of life is not so good for some

Yes Mike, like Silent One says, it is all country, especially our democratic lands, we have one faction trying to rewrite history, the easy way out by stepping into established one's shoes, instead of them creating their own. Great poetry, it is a warning as well as a message.
