Prejudice and division among the races.


Poem Artwork

DIVISION

 

YOU CAN DIVIDE A COUNTRY, A PEOPLE, A CELL

EVEN LOVE THAT'S STRONG CAN'T SURVIVE IN HELL

 

DESTROY THE SPIRIT, DESTROY THE PAST

DESTRUCTION OF THE PRESENT IS DESTRUCTION THAT LASTS

 

THINKING OF NOWHERE, A PLACE TO CLEAN THE SOUL

THOUGHTS JUST DISAPPEAR, LIKE THE WIND ACROSS THIS KNOLL

 

DIVIDE INTO HALVES, DIVIDE INTO TWO

A DIVISION IN TRUST IS BETWEEN ME & YOU

 

TURN YOUR BACK ON ME NOW, TELL ME FAITH IS BLIND

THE FAITH IN ONE ANOTHER IS JUST A DREAM IN MY MIND

 

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING NOT CONTROLLED BY OUR FEARS

IS LIKE SEARCHING FOR HOPE IN FEELINGS WROUGHT BY TEARS

 

STAND ON YOUR OWN, ASK WHAT IS IT FOR?

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF OR ESCAPE THROUGH THE DOOR

 

DIVIDE UP THE PROFIT, DIVIDE FOR YOUR OWN

WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY CAUSE LIFE HAS NO LOANS

 

YOU SAID A RACE WITHOUT PREJUDICE WILL SURVIVE FOR NOT LONG

YOU CAN'T MOVE UP THE LADDER WHEN THERES A RACE THAT'S NOT WRONG
