Best Great Divide Poems


Premium Member Great Divide
A great divide is here
Not, the Grand Canyon 
Or our weather from East to West
Or even North to South
But, it is the divide amongst our people
It has grown wide enough in areas,
Too distant to reach in areas at times
With reasoning falling, between sides to the...

Premium Member God and Man - the Great Divide
Compare the evidence of a real divide
so far apart are truly God and man
the comparisons are really traumatic
consider all that covers this great span

God is far greater than created man
always eternal knows everything
fully perfect with no hint of sin
fully spiritual with great blessings to bring

God...

The Great Divide
Our ancestors roamed ‘cross the seas
way long before my time
and conquered lands so strange to us,
but ever so divine.

But since they crossed that salty pond
they’ve changed you must agree,
no man from here… the ‘motherland’
would waste our precious tea.

So now a ‘Great Divide’ appears
on both sides...

The Great Divide
With every uncertainty the rich get more greedy
and larger grows the great divide
a great plague stretching worldwide

And each and every person's tear
is nothing in the corporate eye

The land of opportunity 
where opportunity has ceased to be

Each day politicians boast jobs
they fail to say how many...

The Great Divide
Racism
Schism
A void
To Altruism

A means
Promote
A path
To more division

The color
The people
Is purple
Ever equal?

Is there
Some way
To span
Across the Steeple

In truth
We lie
And know
Consistent evil

Deny
Deny
The populous
Primeval...

Mask Or No Mask the Great Divide
My muse stopped by today
He knew he’d find me home
With this current virus
I seldom outside roam

The Governor’s making changes
Things are freeing up a bit
I sense with all this “freedom
Corona deaths may take a hit.

So many resist face covering
It seems an overbearing task
To slip behind that...

To Span the Great Divide
How seldom do things work
     out the way you say
I haven’t any figures yet
     but i’m sure it’s rare
and happens less often still
     despite that incessant mind.
We cheer for things turned right

The Great Divide
It is complete
All has completely gone to waste
You fear
I believe
I don't have time to bring back our lives
Together
It's not like I have givin up on you
You have givin up on me
It is done
You have helped me build this canyon
You retire
I press on
Just when it seems...

Premium Member The Great Divide: Men, Women, and the Mystery of understanding
We live in constant confusion. "Men are from Mars,
more like Pluto," they say. When understanding women, we're relegated to a planet outside our own solar system. That's how far our understanding has progressed, 'not very far.'

Our minds are bombarded by rhetoric about past misdeeds of...

The Great Divide
She is far too Left.

Once I thought I saw her lurch
to the Right -
it might have been
too much tequila.

She eats fancy ice creams
and does not care to share.
Generally speaking
she is against everything.

Politics came between us:
His name was Nigel....

The Great Divide
Death,

it shall come to us all.

Some people go to their grave with their lies for that I will never understand. No
shame.

Feel my wrath and feel my fury for I am a
scomed woman.

It’s hard to let go of the concept that no
one cares while simultaneously wrapping
your...

I had heard and read about it.
This time, I actually saw the sign.
The sign read, The Great Divide,
and I was crossing it on I-80W;
leaving rivers flowing toward the Atlantic,
and joining rivers flowing toward the Pacific.
