Us Versus Them

Us Versus Them

A Poem by John Prophet

Us versus
them.
Mountain
people
versus
valley
people.
Thinking
differently.
Downloaded
minds.
Different
ways,
customs.
Different
gods.
Us versus
them.
The enemy.
Can’t be
trusted.
Power and
control.
War.
Fighting.
Many
die.
Civilizations
destroyed.
Trials and
tribulations.
Treasure
spent for
weapons,
killing.
For what?
Good
versus
evil.
One man’s
villain,
another
man’s
hero.
Money
better spent.
Developing
bridges,
understanding.
Saving lives.
Lifting all
to a
better
place.
Afraid.
Fear,
ignorance.
Ruling,
calling
the plays.
Enlightenment
required
charting a
different,
better
way.
A hopeful
way.
Humanity’s
golden
path.
Hopefully
some day.
