United We Stand

Divided We Fall


A country
split in two
by colors
red and blue.

A nation
torn
by conflicting
values.

Why be
conservative?
Why be
liberal?

Wasn't
this country
meant to be
a melting pot?

Of different
cultures,
peoples,
places.

Living
at peace
not war.
Love not hate.

Why
are we
divided
at all?

This country was split in two by a civil war once fighting for and against slavery.  Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and that the Republican Party was responsible for getting rid of slavery?
