the power of we

harsh, shrill voices
hatred stated
echoes of past
failures inflated
like missiles
misguided
hearts and souls
divided
violent acts
angry reactions
speak to
desperate factions
we look at each other
struggle for an answer
like watching a loved one
battle cancer
there is more to us
than meets the eye
what if together
became you and I
such a different planet
it surely would be
if we awoke one morning
to the power of we...
