Divided We Stand

Everywhere I go,
I see destruction.

Right or left,
Up or down.

Righteous or wicked,
Free or enslaved.

“None of it matters,
You don’t matter”

Is their motto,
In our paradise.

Double standard,
Is their logic.

In our country,
Hateful and Jaded.

Brainwashed,
Deluded.

Hypocritical,
Prideful.

“Surely not,
My good sir!”

You protest,
In defense.

Wake up!
Wake up!

For hate and evil,
Exists in all men.

Stereotypes and prejudice,
Exists on both sides.

Wake up!
Wake up!

For our land,
Our rightful home.

Is now our hell,
Our nightmare.

Our country,
Divided we stand.

I am an Arizona native that has currently gone to SNHU online for a Masters creative writing degree with a concentration in poetry. I aspire to not only fulfill my dream of being a recognized poet, but also to advance my work into a potential career.
