Poetry – Division is good for me

Division is good for me

Toughen up!

With tear gas, shields and guns,

What was peaceful becomes violent.

The country is at war

But the President

Won’t relent!

The hard man of law and order,

Who builds walls on his border,

Won’t be bent!

It’s a land where it is OK to be fascist;

When the rudest word is now socialist.

Where discrimination is the norm

And application of law is racist.

A country ruled by guns and knees

Which always ignores a victim’s pleas.

The country is at war

But the President

Won’t relent!

Opher – 2.5.2020

America is dissolving in a sea of division and hatred being stoked up by politicians.

Trump uses division, lies and propaganda to create fear and hatred.

He incites violence.

He empowers right-wing racists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

The propaganda machine is in full swing.
