Oceans.  Epochs.
Nationhood.  Providence.
Ethnicity.  Culture.
All divide.

Land.  Class.
Creed.  Religion.
Status.  Politics.
All split.

Resources.  Sexuality.
Testosterone. Oestrogen.
X, Y.  And Z.
All separate.

If we see the gaps between us
As they truly are;
As significant;
As bonds that actually bind,
Maybe we would not be so blind.

It's easy to blame,
Far easier to ignore.
It's hard to suffer the pain,
It's harder still to even the score.

We wouldn't build what we have
If were to start again.
Unplanned.  Uncaring.
Given the chance, we must start over.
Anew.
