UNDIVIDED

 Undivided by Taylor Campbell

We live in a nation where it’s been decided

We are divided.

And unlike popular belief it isn’t just one sided.

I find, We stand the opposite of a line. Amongst those like in mind, so blind to the rest of human kind.

Instead of coming together to reconcíliate, we retaliate, and debate with hate. It’s disgusting the way that we discuss things.

We live in a nation where we believe only what we can see.

And have the ignorant convenience to see only what we believe.

We are “fed” from our own “feed” manipulated by those of greed.

Groomed to consume.

And if we don’t agree we get angry,

“I don’t believe the same as you, so its not true, we don’t have the same world view or value. Oh you like him, now I hate you. I’ll dislike and unfollow too”.

We live in a nation where we know what civil unrest is, we’re being tested, we need to get invested in what the best is to correct this.

We live in a nation where we take the actions of a select few and apply it to the masses. Now we’re all fascists..

But why do we act so classless?

Fear.

We’re afraid of a future that’s unclear, the next 4 years, of losing everything we hold dear, of our peers, of whatever the hell is happening here.

We’re afraid of the aristocracy, the hypocrisy, that they are coming for our democracy, of everyone that has a different thought than me, that they are accosting me but it’s not lost on me, this atrocity, if we continue this way we will never be free.

I’m frustrated we’re so easily manipulated because if we’re afraid they are more easily obeyed.

We live in a nation where our greatest freedom is agency. So don’t for one second or an hour give up your power. Rise above, choose love. Diversify your thinking, give an ear when another is speaking, take time to learn from what they’re teaching. Don’t get over excited, incited, to riot. Walk a mile in their shoes, chose to mend where another would bruise.

It’s the fear we must forsake. We claim to be woke so act awake, make no mistake if we don’t bend now we will all break.
