The Great Divide
January 11, 2017
Where equality and race do not intertwine
Where there is no comprehension nor attention
Where all is a class without education
This is the great divide
It shall be battled nor by ignorance or fear
Yet by one another waiting to hear
Then there shall be butterflies in the air
Where equality and justice ring
Oh, Great Divide
Where is your pardon?
Or have we all hardened
The great quality
That defined
all of humankind?
Oh people
Of kingdoms and countries
Get off your throne
And listen to the sound of justice
This way we will be one

What inspired me is the racial tensions in the United States. I hope that people understand the following quote:
"Tension is not overcome by ignorance yet communication and thoughtfulness."
