Analysis of A People United



Beautiful are the numbered days
with the shining rays of kinship.
A people so united
the world wants divided.

The peak of the sailing ships
who used to curtail conflicts.
Never a convict when people united.
Never impoverished when undivided.

But time is misguided,
a being eroded.
Devil of the fallen,
enemy of the common.

Demoralized, paralyzed, and disorganized.
The inseparable fossilized.
A people sprawled.
A sickly downfall.

Allied and unified,
then denied and dehumanized.
All is divisible.
A truth invisible.

Open the eyes of the blind,
and unwind the devil's tide.
