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.
