We seek separation

A world unto ourselves

Though we are never alone

So we must cast

Our divisions

Alongside our path

Cloaking ourselves

In our differences

Mindful only

Of our wants

Shouting them out

As needs

Placing them before

Virtue

Kindness

Paving paths with hatred

And reinforcing hearts

With emptiness

Unless we join hands

Stand together

And create beauty

To overcome

Destruction ~ Caroline A. Slee
