A Country Divided Upon Slippery Slopes Poem by Terence George Craddock

countries rise or fall built
upon the sum total of shifting values
integrity abilities morality
contained within all people
all individuals within their societies
the fortunes of a country rest

within the hands values
unified will of all citizens within
a country divided upon slippery slopes
injustice intolerance hatred divisions
dice risks a dark fate
a country where all are valued
all are blessed endures prospers
can recover when disasters tragedy strikes

the land
unified people
are strong resilient
countries people
who prosper
grow together
