Fractured

In the shadows cast by towering walls
It whispers and silence calls
In hearts once close, now the worlds collide
We're standing apart, a bridge is broken
We're fractured. Two different views collide
A chasm wide, so wide
The gap grows, a widening rift
Empathy fades and our hearts drift
We wear our pride in this war of words
We choose a side
A running system after loading
Proceeds with everything it learnt
With all its knowing from the past
An existing system is corroding
It fades into the past
In a lake of despair we drown in hate
As compassion retreats
And you can see where it leads
When two do not give in, the pattern repeats
The gap grows, a widening rift
Empathy fades and our hearts drift
We wear our pride in this war of words
We choose a side
A running system after loading
Proceeds with everything it learnt
With all its knowing from the past
An existing system is corroding
