The Key To Success

With division in our hearts, tyranny will always succeed.
              It won’t matter how we fight, or how much we bleed.
          How much longer must we struggle and continue to suffer?
                We have to unite; we must create this new buffer.
                  Let's all wage war against the demons of man.
                     Ask for God’s strength, I pray we still can.
                   We must achieve victory, no matter the cost.
                       Let's try and unite, before we’re all lost.

" With division in our hearts, tyranny will always succeed." So true! I doubt we have been any more divided since the Civil War. The problem is people who were in "haha" power were labeling cities "democratic," "liberal" as if all democrats, all republicans and all liberals are exactly the same. I am so glad the divider is gone.
