Division Joseph Adam

Why must we be stuck with division in our society? Why can’t we just speak a calm mind and sobriety? Why must we be forced into fighting with two teams and forced in without Rhyme or reason? Because we’re forced to be on team one and two that means red and blue. All of the talk is about what person that they like, but never anything about how they are alike. It's just time for people to go sling muck for others to rake. But of course, they are fake. They all have one-sided agendas. They have their own people to fend for. They become a defective tribe Which just means taking bribes of fame and threats of shame But those who haven't subscribed, joined the tribe, and took the bribe. Those people are gone Long ago kicked to the lawn, given time to think of the bribe. They think of their wife and kids, how are they to survive? Do they have to go and hide? But why do this when you can just change sides? This is common for the media. They have their news so they will try to lead ya. If the system is as bad as I say, Why do these people maintain their pay? Because the same two teams, red and blue, Only keep their power because we let them to. They enjoy this anger stew. As people grow up they already joined their crew. This is just common For this is the status quo. Cutting off democracy we just don't want to let it grow

So I'm going to leave you with this Next time you see someone from the other side miss Don't hiss, hate and diss And BANG, your continuing the loop And aiding those evil groups.
