Borders

They called them borders,
Invisible lines that divided them.
On color, creed, castes and races.
States and Nations and Continents
That made up the Earth, yet divided it.

I am superior because of my color, they said,
You're superior because of your caste.
So what if we are all humans,
We need borders, we need division.

Your God is not my God, they said,
No, you are not equal to me.
So what if we're all nature's children,
We still create our own God.

We fight to fulfill our own greed, they said,
Deny what we want, and you die.
So what if we were meant to live together,
Greed comes before humanity.

We will fight till one of us is wiped out, they said,
We cannot live in harmony.
So what if we must all die in the end,
We need to establish our supremacy.

We fight for our God and race, they said,
For our nation and our pride,
So what if Love has lost its meaning,
In borders we live, and we die.
