Best Divided Poems


Premium Member A Divided Nation
Confined in one boundary, living together
showing different reactions in changing weather.

Stabbing each other, hoping to reach same destiny
creating a stumbling block as the way, what an Irony.

Loving outsiders in possession of a different gene
to the point patriotism withers and becomes lean.

It is time for one...

Divided We Enter
Solitude's of the multitudes
There are doors that never open
Slamming doors banging doors
Many hearts forever broken...
Must decide what will divide
One to the left or one to the right
One will rot the other will not
I will choose before the night...
The doors of Destiny in their complexity
Will always...

Premium Member Ireland - a Divided Island Part Three
kaisers, kings, emperors fight for territory
  dispensable bodies left in the ground on foreign soil, unreturned
  militarisation of memory and folly
  an Irish nation half-wrenched from a bloodied and wearied empire
  red royalist hands command the northeastern corner
  southern civil...

Premium Member Ireland - a Divided Island Part Two
chieftains trade their loyalty behind the clouds
  high mountain king Carrantouhil commanding his Macgillycuddy Reeks
  men of begotten rank, scheming skulduggery
  secrets hide out of sight, Comeragh mystery shrouds Coumshingaun
  flighty earls flee from the Lough Swilly shore
  priests conspire,...

Premium Member Ireland - a Divided Island Part One
born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting
  alongside the southern Iapetus Ocean
  equatorial deep-time child of Laurentia and Avalonia
  journey northward, surfacing, submerging
  surfing the waves again, a colder Hibernian dalliance

Premium Member Divided We Stand
Inspired by a tremendously bold & powerful track, “Who we are” by Machinehead

Once upon a misery call
Deception broke bread with diabetic circumstances
Sugar
Coating
Half-assed smiles

Phantoms of a listless fortitude
Haunting today’s unfulfilled promise

As they wear silken layered Khakis
With African cotton dreams
And unclaimed pocket protectors to share their wealth
Amongst...

Premium Member Racial Divided
I'll say a few words none to be kind.
America is still color blind.
You could be yellow, red, white, 
brown, or black.
Hate towards any of these colors is 
racism and that’s a proven fact. 
Racism comes in many different 
shapes and forms.
I have had my fair...

A Family Divided
Once more we talk about it.
How sad it's all become.
No matter how we look at it
this family is not one.

They say it shouldn't matter.
Who needs them after all? 
But, please explain the pain I feel
even though I've got it all.

I see my pain and emptiness
like...

A House Divided a Nation Divided
Jesus said that a house divided cannot stand.
We see this happening throughout this land!

Our government seems to not get along.
As they seem to fight over right vs. wrong.

Our courts seem to add to much confusion.
As they often misinterpret the constitution.

Often, the political parties attempt to...

Premium Member I Have Divided My Tears Into Section
I divided my tears into section
With each drop, with each snuffle
With each tissue: I thread
I remembering the good times we shared
Yesterday, was your birthday
today: it’s my revelation:   I  have taken
another course in my life: unlike the blackbird 
I once encounter 
Who were...

Scrambled Egg Divided

My son, like a sun, brought sunshine to my life
In view of his mother's immutable reins that rain strife

During Jeff's formidable years he saw his parents interlude
Tenuous, a hen and a rooster continuously squawking and in feud

Seeing his parents always bereft had an...

A House Divided
Evermore the battle wages on.
My body aches for unity,
and my house cries for reconstruction.
I cry out every day for the One,
but push the soul food aside....

Making a Real Difference
Why not make a real difference?
By mending broken down walls and fences.
Instead of defacing personal and business property.
Recognizing people and their business need the
freedom to operate them.  A healthy and productive
economy, Complete with equal employment opportunities
Is beneficial to all of our countrymen and country...
