Us and Them
We are us,
They are them,
A complex mixture,
Of women and men,
We want peace,
They want war,
They don't abide by any law
No matter how much we implore,
It is clear
They do not want to hear,
What we have to say
They do not understand,
Things don't always go as planned,
We did not want this unrest,
Peace is what we like the best.
We have put on a brave face.
And keeping up with the pace,
With foes.
Who keeps us on our toes.
As we soldier on,
With spirit so strong.
Keeping faith that we will see
Our victory
Before too long.
Us United Them disquieted.
