LIVES FALL APART
Before we were working together
We were united
We worked together
We lived together
We ate on the same piece of bread.
There was nothing like racism,
There was nothing like racial discrimination,
There was nothing like segregation
There was nothing like tribalism,
But now that’s the way to go.
Where are our roots,
Where is the love for each other we had?
Where is the kindness we had?
Where are the beautiful creatures of God?
Those that treated each other with equality.
Please brothers and sisters,
Why do we separate ourselves?
As if we have not been together before,
But now we are no longer a whole,
We are pieces.
Lives fall apart.
