Us against them?

there are some men
notably
gun men
who'd like that to be true
but
as most things are in life
the
decision is up to you.

one life
Is
much the same
as another life,
but when any life
is taken
the effect is a
tragedy beyond
comprehension.

So
us against them
is a fallacy,
see
turn it on its head
and it's them against us

when actually it is
we,
One
race
the human race
simply
consisting of
political and religious divides
which vie against the
We,
the one

Not me and them
or them and I,

so
yes I cry
and house my tears
in the souls
of the
Injured
and those who die

asking why
brings no solution
no release
until
us and them
them and us,
We
come to some kind of
peace

I think We
all deserve that
