Division

Oh how we divide

Neat from untidy

Clean from dirty

Rich from poor.

Oh how we divide

Men from woman

Animals from humans

Food from dirt.

Oh how we divide

Crustaceans from insects

Plants from minerals

Fish from urchins.

Oh how we divide

Life from death

Love from hate

Eternity from briefness.

Oh we divide

Children from adults

Intelligence from stupidity

Logic from reason.

Oh how we divide

Normal from unconventional

Beauty from ugliness

Tragedy from fulfillment.

Oh how we divide

Everything from everyone

Leaving little room for the things

God intended to be whole.
