Stand Together

We’re tearing ourselves apart;

Every day this country has loss and darkness that follows us around as if a shadow, clinging to any sign of doubt.

This darkness grows, getting bigger and bigger until every inch of the world is corrupted with power hungry people in the high leadership, to low, and hate that never seems to go away, like a fire that turns every grain of life to death.

In the hands of adversity we stand, us tight in their grip and unable to escape, as sides disagree over the right in the wrong in our world.

Each and every one of us has a different opinion on events, and it turns to rage towards the ones that do not believe the same.

A storm is overhead, here comes the rain and lightning, hearing thunder and feeling the strong winds whip you with fury as the storm turns to a hurricane.

Watch as the sun fades as the clouds cover the sky with pitch black and blots out any light left.

But we must stand defiant and resistant to this monstrosity of a void in our hearts and our minds.

We mustn't let the hate outweigh the love.

We mustn't let fear and belief outweigh logic and reason.

We must see the truth, that all men are created equal, all men and women, all people have rights. All people have hearts.

We the people must learn to love again, for we need to see that a country divided is not a country, but a fallen kingdom; yet that kingdom can rise again.

Hand in hand we can rebuild.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." 

- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

These words have power. These words have meaning, and truth. We must come together and forget our differences, it is the only way we can all survive in this divided world we live in.
