A Call for Unity

A Call for Unity

Is it just a dream?

Or is it a vision of hope

Is it naivity to believe?
To believe in the value of honor
To believe in the value of trust


Am I naive to trust?
That we could come together
Hope together
Uniting one with the other
Becoming a force
A force to be reckoned with


Is the phrase
Unity is strength a farce?
Think with me for a moment
A universe without the sun and the moon
Complementing each other


A universe where the river never runs to the sea
Where no rainfall penetrates the earth's surface
Vitalizing the roots of the trees

Where the unity of male and female
Brings forth no birth
Where nature's elements no longer unite
To replenish mother earth


For what use is a vehicle without its engine
What use is an engine without its vital parts
What use is the human without a functioning brain
Without a beating heart


United elements make that old oak tree
Stand mighty strong and tall
United we stand
Devided, we fall
