     Our world, separate
     Like black and white
     No shades of gray
     To the end they fight

     No compromise
     Either yes or no
     Can’t agree
     Their goal I know

     People can’t stop 
     And settle down
     Always glaring
     With a frown

     Can’t admit
     They might be wrong
     Unbending stick
     Snap, they’re gone

     Broken words
     Like shards of glass
     Hurting more
     Than seems at last

     Time to realize
     We’re more than one
     Get together 
     Don’t pull the gun

     We are one race
     And more alike than you think
     To the end we go
     To the very brink

     Would you rather end
     Would you rather die
     Than just agree
     Than compromise
