Piece by piece they're pulling us apart
As Time rips, controversy shreds
As they pull us to our separate oceans
We fight each other again
He won't listen to me speak
They won't let me in this room
The world won't even look at me
For I wear the color blue
He who shares my same last name
She who shares my blood
Shun me because I won't wear red
Wish to cut out my tounge
Society as it's walls grow taller
Pray on friendships demise
Watch it's families break apart
Silence neutral cries
Feed us only our own view point
Teach us to hate the other
Those in power who smile big
As intellectuals shudder
Break us down person by person
Teach us through AI
Bright red armed with insults
My faded blues cry
I don't hate you because you have opinions
Don't hate the red blue or even green
I respect you because you're a person
Why can't you do the same for me

My country continues to grow more and more politically divided. As we all live in our echo chambers the dynamic of humanity falls away.
