What do you think this poem is about?

Our Family, My family

Our family, My family, so broken and divided are we
So caught up with anger amongts ourselves, so much we cannot see
So focused on bitter disputes and drawn out battle lines
Still trying to achieve victory against these unbreakable vines
Stuck in the murkey water trying to get free
Our family, my family so broken and divided are we

    nicely done. i like the reality of your poem. it fits in most peoples family situations. just remember it only takes one to gather the pieces and it takes all to put them together.
