A house divided

It is such a crying shame
When people forget
From whence they came
Ah the pain of regret
When families are split
Peace no longer reigns
Life no longer fits
In the way of love; genuine
A house divided unto itself
No love lost; between family
It's pieces left upon the shelf
No peace; only hate; calamity
Harsh words bandied forth
Instead of love and kindness
There is only hatred; wrath
Ah dear Lord the world's blindness
In these awful, crazy latter days
People with no thought for others
Wars of words; beneath the sun's rays
Anger toward sisters and brothers
God help us all here on earth
Where there is no respect
For those who gave us birth?
Hearts bereft; lives left derelict...
