we draw lines in the ever-shifting sands
'No! That is me, not you!'
'You idiot, that's ME, this is you!'
and yet the division is far too unclear
for any fool swigging his beer.
as the ever-shifting lines in the sand
tie us all to our meager plots of land,
i - for all that one-letter word is worth -
slip over the boundaries and cross't the hills
make this a test of mind,
not wills,
for in this shattered world, i find,
there is no boundary between me and thine!
only when we all understand
can we end the rivalry and war amongst man -
so gaze into another's eyes,
see the common soul you've both disguised
