The Great Divide


We choose to live

in different countries

Fortune

gives but one

Divided 

at its very core

Two parties

zero-sum

 

The canyon widens

beyond our reach

Where each side

stands alone

The best of what

we all could be

In hopes and dreams

— below

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2025)
