Erase It
The simple line partens the land
And people alike
Dividing thoughts and emotions
Fuelling the enigma of voters
Carried on in name of freedom
We separate ourselves
From ourselves
Making walls and borders
To protect us from raiders
Fearing the advancemnt
In the waters.
The simple line partens the land
And people alike
And how do you justify?
On one side
Earth remains barren
Minds of those in power
And on the other
Fields run lush
Potbellies in full vigour
The simple line partens the land
And people alike.
The air too is distinct
Each nation coloring it in
With smoke and propaganda
Trying to tame the wild winds
The simple line partens the land
And people alike.
So many stand sentry
To defend and secure
Their motherland and more
But no one hears the cry
Of the mother now not
And wife now not
The simple line partens the land
And people alike.
Metal giants and ammunition
Traded more than smiles
Lives taken infinite
But nourished only your might.
Any thought of peace
Proceeded by the blood cry
To avenge that fragile ego
Of power lie
The simple line partens the land
And people alike
Into us and them
So different and yet
The same humans
The same soil
The same children
The same toil.
The simple line partens the land
And people alike
These borders have stood too long
They have created conflicts
Where were none.
Your and my motherland
Is the same.
The same trees
The same flowers
But yet so far away
The simple line partens the land
And people alike.
Hear O hear
Tear down this boundary
And put on wings
Carry free on the winds
Untamed.
Which line you ask?
The one in you
The one that
Differentiates news from you
Which tells to
Ignore the beggars
Ignore the rapists
Ignore the murders
Ignore the fascists
Ignore the peasants
Ignore the corruption
Ignore the ventriloquist media
Dancing in government fingertips
The simple line divides your mind
And your feelings and action
Erase it
