Descent
We slide slowly
into war
We travel down the slope
Pulled by gravity
The friction lubricated
by intolerable acts
We are polarized, separated
no longer one people
It is now us against them
they against us
No longer brothers
No longer kindred
No longer fellow citizens
We call for blood
They call for blood
We arm for war
We join militias and train
We prepare to leave
All we love behind
We march towards what
We really don't want
Towards death and destruction
We are bound, us and them though,
By fate, to destroy what we love
For belief
I don't believe that it can
Stop now
It is started
It's momentum is gathering
and soon it will be a Juggernaut
We have resolve both us and them
And we cannot stop now
Slowly we descend
