Our People

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 20, 2023 

Our
people.
Your
people.
Us verse
them.
Divided.
What
divides?
People?
People
are
people.
Ideas,
concepts.
Culprit
at hand.
Minds
filled.
Filled
with ideas.
Narratives.
Wars
in the
mind.
Get them
while
they’re
young.
Conquering
new
terrain.
Pound
away.
Filling
little minds.
Narratives
told.
Narratives
sold.
Long
campaign.
Taking
new ground.
Watching
the old
wither
away.
