a nation divided - v4

A nation still divided
an election undecided
harsh words spoken in anger
a match thrown too quickly
pouring gasoline on the fire
words of rage, of derision,
cast into the toxic soup.

A combustible chaos
yet so much in common
under the thin surface
love needed in these times
now more than ever
to heal our brokenness,
our hurting nation-state.
