When Heaven Falls

When Heaven Falls

A Poem by Tobi
"

The last evil

"

You say you're proud of your country.
I don't know how that can be.
Pride is only gained from accomplishments,
Where you're born is given completely free.

One more random factor,
That is used to divide.
All this from claiming,
From your nation you feel pride.

We are all from the same planet,
This you refuse to see.
You may have been born on a different part,
But does that make you so different from me?

Patriotism is the last prejudice,
That people think is acceptable still.
If you believe your own countrymen are better,
Then you would reason others are fine to kill.
