Unity Overcoming Division

One day we’ll see, so clear and bright,
That all our division was never right.
If we united, despite our way,
So many problems would melt away. 

I ache for the children, burdened and torn,
To mend a world so deeply worn.
I feel the anger, raw and real,
For all the suffering we refuse to heal. 

We turn inward, blind to the cries,
While our neighbors struggle beneath the skies.
We could do more—give love, give care—
But it’s easier to forget than to share. 

Yet hope is rising, soft and slow,
Love waits behind doors we hardly know.
A smile is just a frown away,
Let’s build a kinder world today.
