The Division Of All Division Poem by Old Teenage Poems

We never believed in the division of 'us' and 'them'

-Because we knew
that the world
is a room without corners
is a playground of love and compassion

-Because we understood
that the opposite of war
isn't peace
it's creation

-Because we felt
that the purpose
of life
is a life of purpose

-we failed to understand
that some
might never agree
might think that we failed to understand

them

might say we had created an 'us' that would exclude 'them'

and so we agreed
on the division of 'us' who understood
that there should be no 'us' and 'them'
and 'those'
who didn't
