Analysis of Fires of Divisions
stoking the fires of divisions and strife
Yet, many sweats have lost steam
preventing strenously, our union
from going down the mill of disunity
why then do you still roll back
these lifeless gains on the altar
of self driving but blind ambition
wispers of senseless ambition
creating ripples to throw down
the peace of the apple cart
unhealthy wishes and dreams
creating potential air of destructions
to mince and steal our lone survival
