The world is divided
The world is divided
I have decided.
I have decided
that the world is divided between the strong and the weak,
between the rich and the poor,
between those who ‘have not’
and those who have more than enough.
Divided by minorities and majorities,
of whites and of blacks,
we seem to be shuffled like cards
to a segregated pack.
Separating me and you
with divisions galore,
but always divided
between the rich and the poor.
The world is divided I have decided
and it’s in a whole lot of strife.
The world is divided
with a whole lot of hype.
