The Day

Why do we fight each other
Dear sisters and dear brothers
We all have different mothers

Yet we're all the same

We've become so divided
It has gotten hard to hide it
With no way to deny it

That we are all to blame

Some pull left while some pull right
Different as noon day and mid-night
The truth we search we've yet to find

Could we be too late

We must till the earth of this dirt
Free it from weeds of the hurt
From each other we can learn

If we listen more than say

Stop this bickering amongst each other
Dear sisters and dear brothers
Find common ground with each other

It's the only way we'll save the day

I agree with Elizabeth; why can't we just agree that we disagree on some matters? Very nice thought provoking write Mike!~Che :)

Such truth in your write Mike, why can't we all just get on with each other and respect our differences?
