"As kids we pledged allegiance..."
As kids, we pledged allegiance -
You were my motherland.
I was a little pigeon
That ate right from your hand.
We’re nurtured on one soil,
We gulped the selfsame air,
How is it we uncoiled
So far, beyond repair?
We used to reach consensus
Without spoken words
And now, the same five senses
Perceive two different worlds.
