Tell Me Why Are We Devided Poem by John Ackerman

we all bleed the same
we are beautiful when we come together
are eyes having spots in the darkness of the night
father open are eyes to see

we have to fight for each other
only love can drive out the darkness what are we fighting for
lines are being drawn in the sand
we were made to care for one another

let love be the cry in the shadows of the night
father God we pray that are families will come together
sweltering heat with bloodshed in our street
send the troops home no reason for them to roam

these are desolate times yet we settle for ill but faded rhymes
casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's atrocious
we send our children to war zone we call schools
abortion on demand when will we ever live to understand

take your brother by the hand lead him forth to the promise land
Why are we devided when we need to come together for each other
shelter lies dormany amidst its beckoning plow
a challenge to be free is a question of time

my one solution is using my mind
living on the edge and its going to my head
sitting up at night all alone in bed
following the rainbow to the sky

I see a vision of you pass me by
our war we are in is almost over
its so hard to believe I lost my lover
