VICE VERSA
harmony/discord triumph/fail
IF ONLY
If people could live in harmony
They would never fail;
They would fill the world with happiness
And empty every jail.
But while they live in discord
Triumph is out of reach.
(Eight little lines, a tiny verse
But what a lesson to teach!)

DIVIDED WE FALL.
(An Acrostic)
Divided we fall, united we stand!
Isn't that message rather grand?
Visualise a world improved
If by that message we were moved!
Division leaves us all in pieces!
Every noble aim decreases!
Double! Treble our situation!
*
Witness nation joined with nation!
Empathy! And brotherhood!
*
Fantasy? Oh that we could
All combine to stand as one!
Leave behind the bomb and gun!
Leave behind the jingoistic!
(Let's pretend I'm realistic!)
